Yes, I know about the hippos there. Still, it’s amazing it hasn’t resulted in attacks.

They’re starting to be a problem. Last year a man was attacked but was able to get away. I was wrong on the number, as of 2022 there were 130 known hippos. Experts say the number could be 400 in seven years if nothing is done.
The people of the nearest town don’t want the animals killed because they’re “not a problem.”
Just wait until there’s hundreds of them.
