© Doug88888 Have you ever been in a condition while travelling where you only realized afterward the magnitude in the danger you were around? A story has emerged which has me reassessing my own earlier travels in Photography equipment, where I was blissfully unaware which you can be swallowed by your hippopotamus.
Former African river guide Paul Templar gets attention for his video that recounts a 1996 unpleasant incident where he barely escaped with his life. Templar was in the Zambezi River near Victoria Crumbles when he encountered a "grouchy bull" hippopotamus. He was swallowed within the attack and spent several minutes inside beast, which was submerged inside the river, before narrowly getting out of. He required extensive surgeries to fix his arm, which is stripped of flesh, and bite wounds to many of his organs.
I knew that hippos are deadly and ought to be treated with a great deal of caution and respect, but that you can be ingested by one — and most people wouldn't have survived a great scenario — puts them for a whole different level around my mind.
