billyG:truth is hippos don't eat meat, it acted like dat because of territory defence. They are herbivore and only eat on land in evening plus night. 2 Likes |

ARE THERE HIPPO'S IN NIGERIA If yes any stories on them and where they could be found easily |

stagger: Young man, back up the bacteria story with proof from Nat Geo or Animal planet.. I have never heard that Hippos have bacteria in their mouth that infects bites.. I know they have very powerful jaws that can't cut through bones, but bacteria? Hells No.. You should help that fellow provide proof if you have any.. And kudos to you on the MTV joke.. You may just have a future in stand up with a shiit load more practice. |

OboloMAN: Not true. Bonny people do not worship Hippo and yes there are Hippos still in Bonny island and few in other parts like Ke and old Ifoko forest. |

To get the true idea of how extremely lucky this man is, just ONE powerful bite from an adult hippo WILL SLICE a well-grown adult crocodile into two. Hippos are extremely territorial. They can attack without any provocation, just for being on a side of the river it considers its own. Relatively slow on land but extremely swift in the water. They are excellent swimmers, and can submerge underwater for long periods just like crocs and gators. Hippos are extremely dangerous, and in recent times have been proven to be carnivorous too --yes, sometimes they eat meat. So never think of a hippo as some benign over-sized plant eater. You either shoot it in the head or avoid being in an area where they are known to be found. Final note, I hate hippos 2 Likes |

Hippo's are not venomous, However they carry a lot of bacteria in their mouths. |

mormoni: How did he cross our border? What is the content and import of the hippocratic oath doctors take? Does it not cover patient/client confidentiality? That place is unfit to be a clinic! My sympathy to the fisherman but I think he requires better medical service than the one you people are giving to him. |
Re: A Fisherman Bitten By A Hippopotamus *pix by Nobody: 6:21am On Feb 18, 2015 |
mormoni: Sheer lies! Not even 'superman' can survive a 30mins tussle with Africa most dangerous animal. 'a bite from a hippo is more poisonous than a snake bite?...' That's arrant nonsense! Hippos' bites, particularly the male hippos, would simply divide whatever they bite into half(1,800pounds). Wildlife researchers only emphasised the bite force of hippos, and not the toxic nature. Hippos only have bacteria in their guts to help digest the water plant they feed on. The bacteria are not situated in their mouth. Your pt likely didn't know what attacked him, or you're making up a bogus story. |

Divineluv14: There are wild animals all over the place even close to towns. I saw a big antelope yesterday caught by hunters in my neighborhood. I have also seen a 12 foot green python in my neighborhood.. These animals hide perfectly to escape humans. 1 Like |

drololaaof: i assume the the original post is a fake one, as typically happens here. the onus is to determine if those wounds were actually caused by a hippo or not. |
Re: A Fisherman Bitten By A Hippopotamus *pix by itstpia8: 7:22am On Feb 18, 2015 |
shota: they must have been introduced fairly recently. the last wild hippos in Nigeria were seen somewhere in the south south around the 1900s or so. |
