A Fisherman Bitten By A Hippopotamus *pix by mormoni(op): 10:24am On Feb 16, 2015
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??

Sorry oo, fisherman
Kudos to the health official treating the wound, I can't stand the. Sight of the leg...hopefully he recovers soon..By d way, can he walk well again?
Re: A Fisherman Bitten By A Hippopotamus *pix by Promking:
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.
