Only In Africa; Part #1

I have decided to do a couple of posts under the title of “Only in Africa”. I have quite a collection of photographs & funny facts to share.
This being the first post, here are two photos which shows a hippo on someone’s patio, sleeping with his head on the wicker couch. Now this would not happen just anywhere in South Africa, contrary to the belief of some. We are a bit more civilized in the cities, and don’t have hippos walking around. Though I don’t know the origin of these photos they were most likely taken on a lodge, or a game farm.

Its all cute until someone does something that Jessica doesn’t like and she charges them and brutally murders them in typical hippo beat down.

Mine was just a bit chewy but very sweet. Unless you have a friend who is a game warden you will not get to eat it. It is protected. Maybe it was chewy due to age or gender. A baby would be very good I think. I am told the cows are better than the bulls.
