METHODS OF CATCHING HIPPO
Grown Animals Are Harpooned While
Asleep. and the Young Ones
Captured In Pits.

There is vast difference between
the hunter who kills for pleasure and
the hunter whose business 1t is to cap
ture his quarry alive. Carl Hagenbeck.
the famous animal dealer. has reduced
his method of capturing wild beasts to
a science. The method of securing live
hippopotami is particularly interesting.
The so-called Hawaii, or water hunt
ters, of the Sudan, all OF whom are ex-
cellent and daring swimmers, harpoon
their victims at the noon hour, when
they are sunk in deep slumber. Then.
according to the Wide World Maga.
zine. they pull them to the bank by
means OF a cord attached to the har>
| poon and make them fast.
The hunters use for this special
kind Of harpoon. made in such a way
that 1t does not make a deep wound.
Fully three-quarters OF the hippopota.
mi exhibited in Europe have been cap.
tured in this way.
Hippopotamus hunts are also con.
Quoted on land. There advantage is
taken OF the fact that the female hippo
potamus makes her young walk In
front OF her. The reason for this Is
that the beast. being well protected in
the rear by her abnormally thick skin.
prefers to have her offspring In front.
where sne can guard them better
against danger.
In spite OF her affection for her chill.
dren the hiDuo has no uarticular de.
sire to meet danger when It comes. So
the hunters dig large pits In the forest.
cover them over until they are fully
concealed. and then lie In walt near by.
Presently female hippopotamus
comes along with her child trotting
before her. Suddenly. without warn.
ing. the young hippo disappears before
It's mothers eyes. This is too much
for the old animal. She dashes away.
leaving the little fellow at the mercy
OF It's enemies.
