We all know this but here is a tourists killed again. Don’t blame the hippo, he is just doing what he does...
NAIROBI, Kenya -- A Chinese tourist was attacked and killed by a hippo while taking pictures on the edge of Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Rift Valley, just hours after a local fisherman was mauled to death in the same area, authorities said Sunday.
The deaths brought to six the number people who have been killed by hippos around Lake Naivasha so far this year.
Wildlife service spokesman Paul Udoto said the circumstances are not clear in which the two Chinese were attacked.
He said hippos and lone buffalos pose the greatest danger to humans and there have been many attacks in which civilians and even rangers have lost their lives.
