My apologies and thanks. But I bet that the little baby hippo that has a tortoise for a best friend isn't such a bad guy!

It's not quite her time. (And that time will be cut short) And we are grateful for that.

Mosquito, although I have heard in the past it was that mean ass looking buffalo creature.

That's a deadly beast indeed... closely related to the parasitic tapeworm or the annoying schisto infestation!

One of the big ecotourist capitals of the world...and life is quite comfortable for tourists. Can't say the same for anyone poor though.

I guess she was successful finding another hippo.Some people don't understand the danger that a wild animal that weighs a few tons can pose.If I was out there where she was you wouldn't find me anywhere near a hippo or the water after dark.I watched an adult male hippo attack a baby hippo in the most vicious manner on the Discovery channel.They are a powerful and deadly animal.

Hmmmmm, Mosquito, and its fellow traveller, Plasmodium.
Maybe #1?

She was warned several times not to do it but she went at night with no one around. The results were predictable.

[Hippos] will attack anything that comes between them and the water Expert hunter Jeff Cooper deems that the most dangerous game.

There's a parasite that burrows it's way into the soles of bare feet and lays it's eggs.
I never knew the English word for them, but they make one helluva sore when the eggs hatch. The foot splits open.
The expats never went barefooted.
