Very unfortunate. Hippos are among the world's most dangerous animals, and one of Africa's deadliest animals.They are highly territorial and aggressive, tolerating no intruders in their territory,be it human or animal.

Sometimes I wonder if we have animals such as the hippopotamus, kangaroo, etc, here in Nigeria...

Yes,we do because they still stroll around the Ogun,Cross River and Balyesa State but no one cares since there is no functional zoo in Nigeria!
The best of zoo then was in Jos Plateau but now demised due to constant local inter tribal War in that Region.
Very Unfortunate indeed!

Notice how the Malawi President quickly sent a Minister to the scene. Here in Nigeria Fulani herdsmen kill hundreds and Buhari and APC don't bat an eye lash. And you say Nigeria will survive. Na you sabi. Did you hear Buhari say a word after Fulani militia killed a hundred in Plateau State few days ago? Nigerian leaders are the most wicked worldwide. They don't even pretend to care a hoot about human lives.

Hippos are very territorial. They've killed more humans than any other animals in Africa

They are very territorial and they don't want to see any creature in their territory.. Once they do, they charge and their rage could be disastrous

They are very territorial on water but on land they aren't . But then hippos and Nile crocodile exist side by side on water without rancour.

Hippopotamus are fucking deadly and aggressive.They are not carnivorous or like eating meat.They just kill for killing sake.RIP to the victims.

The hippo must be extremely large.

But wtf? 23 person's missing with just a hit?
Or is it a scenario were the victims couldn't swim and all got displaced?

I'm kinda perplexed.


Don't Bleep with hippos,they are fast swimmers for their size and they are very territorial.

Deadliest animal indeed!

What to do if hipo attack by Google...

If you're in the water, move in the opposite direction of where you saw the hippos. If you're on land, find cover. You can't outrun a hippo in a straight line, so find a tree, rock or vehicle to get between you and the hippo. This will help slow their attack and perhaps help you get safely to shelter.

Yes, we used to have them in our sea in Bonny Island, my dad has had an encounter with one, but with the increased human activities, they have gone further into the seas and creeks away from the town

Hello vivavik.

Are you still staying in Bonny island?
Can I kindly ask you some generic questions on life and the average living conditions on the island?
