These are wounds from the leg of a fisherman brought to our clinic after engaging in a fight with a very big hippo. According to our patient, the hippo attacked and destroyed their boat. He engaged in a fight with the hippo for over 30 minutes b4 finally escaping.
I will upload pix of the wounds b4 and after surgery. The surgical procedure is called debridement (surgical removal of dead tissues and foreign bodies).

According to my chief consultant, a bite from a hippo is more poisonous than a snake's bite.

This man is very lucky.....

If the hippo likes you, he would bite off an arm or a leg.....

If it hates you, it will bite off your HEAD!!!

Speedy recovery to the fisherman

But is this in borno state? Where??

I tot the same thing my dear. I was shocked hearing 4rm d man, that he was biten by a Hippo. All my thought was that "Hippos are extinct" but they aint.

There is a hippo in Maiduguri's zoo, but not a big one though.

OMG
This is so sad!...

Now i believe the fact that says:

2,900 people are killed by these moody mammals annually in Africa. That roly-poly exterior is just to lure you in.
