Cpl. Justin Trinidad, a Marine security guard with Detachment Harare, Zimbabwe, Marine Corps Embassy Security Group, and his girlfriend, Kaylynn Hankey, enjoy the view from their canoe during a safari trip on the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe on March 14. About 20 minutes later, Trinidad saved the life of another man on the trip when a hippopotamus attacked the group.

Factoid: More people are killed every year in Africa by hippos than by crocodiles.
Check it, werd!

attacked by a hippopotamus
Why anyone would want a hippopotamus for Christmas is beyond me.

No doubt a conservative. You’d never catch a sissy ass lib trying to help anyone. Especially if their life was at stake.

You have to be one squared away Marine to get Embassy Duty. Trust me.

Hippos are the true King of the Jungle.
NOBODY messes with the Hippo. Not lions, not crocodiles, not humans.

“God, please watch over me, because I’m about to do something stupid.” What a great Marine. Able to recognize the situation for what it is, and still act in the face of clear danger.

They don’t let the guides on Disney’s Jungle Cruise ride shoot at the hippos any more.
Obviously a mistake.

OoooRah...that’s a hard charging Devildog. Weather it’s charging into the teeth of some Jihadi ambush, or taking on a raging Hippo, you can always count on my Marines to get the job done :-)
