One cool winter morning we were on a Game Drive in Mabula Private Game Reserve in South Africa when in the bush, far away from the nearest body of water, we spotted a Hippo grazing. Hippo are known to move far from water to find grazing in the night. This was the first time I had witnessed this in the day time. Rather unusual.
These are very dangerous animals are responsible for a number of human fatalities every year. Many attacks by Hippo on small boats are unprovoked.
