245: Honor encountered an angry hippo


Listen Later

Here
on the podcast we’ve several episodes with guests who have told the
story of being attacked by an animal.


These

include a grizzly bear, a monkey, a shark, a rattlesnake, a tiger, a
pair of dogs, an alligator, and a swarm of yellow jackets. But we
haven’t yet had a story about a hippo attack.


Until

today.


My

guest today is Honor. She was traveling throughout Africa and she
learned about the list of animals in Africa that cause the most
fatalities. Hippos are number TWO on that list, and number one may
surprise you. She told me what it was in our conversation.


Hippos

look like they would just want to roll over and scratch their belly.
But don’t be fooled. They are extremely territorial, and can get
very angry. And, as Honor saw first-hand, they are also quite fast.

you’d like to contact Honor, she’s in the Facebook group -
