Hippos

Hi Kim, when we visited Rusinga island in lake victoria with our teacher we saw many herds of hippos walking together. Hippo is a very big animal with short leg, big nose.

We were lucky and hapy to find one of people living around there, he told us that hippo is being eaten and his meat is so sweet.

He told us that killing hippo is not easy and one hippo can be killed by 30 people harm with weapons.

Meat of one hippo can serve two communitys and they can eat meat for two weeks.

He told us that hippo do destroy their crops and it force them to come up as community to dig some big trench 2km from the lake so that when this hippos come out from the lake at night to graze,they cant pass this trench because their legs are short.

I was hapy to hear how hippo make aloud noise.i wish i had a camera tn take the photo.
