Auf dem Chobe-Fluss in Namibia war neulich ein Boot voller Touristen unterwegs, von dem sich ein männliches Nilpferd offenbar gestört fühlte. Es verfolgte den Kahn und biss in den Motor, so dass dieser im Eimer war. Danach ließ das Nilpferd zum Wohle aller Beteiligten von dem Boot ab.
Cameras have caught the moment a hippo charged at a tourist boat on the Chobe River, Namibia, and bit its rear motor.
Jackie Boshoff was part of the group that discovered the hippos, when a male suddenly turned, and managed to out-pace the boat, before launching his attack.
“You hear and read about this stuff, never thinking it could happen to you”, she says.
“Everyone on board the boat actually remained very calm, including me. Fortunately nobody panicked.”
„Der will nur spielen.“
