. The bull hippo punctured and bit Templer in 40 places as it hurled him into the air and then caught him and chewed again. Underwater again and holding his breath as long as he could, Templer was suddenly spit out. Mike rescued him, but his left arm was crushed, and the hippo’s tusks had ripped open his back so badly that his lung was visible.

A hippo at the zoo can be a very mean character.....when I was a kid I remember people screaming at the Hippos tail started twirling as he splattered folks with feces.......People were just running and panic was widespread as feces was shot all over the place.....pretty cool experience for a kid........now with conceal and carry......there might be return fire.
