was more exciting was that we could

Inability OF some of the country's

over the eXpediency of having

EIFTEEN years elapsed from the

cided to risk 1t.
Circling cautiously around the edge
of the pool, we gained the opposite
bank and began to paddle out toward
the island. We kept in such a position
that the rocks were between us and

nothing. It was my first hippopota-
mus. We climbed excitedly down to
where the animal lay, and then. to
our intense disgust and my great
modification. found that il was not
only dead, but that it had been dead
week. The head which we had
made out bobbng up and down in
the water was that Of crocodile feed
ing on the meat and skin.
The first hippo I ever shot had
been dead a week. l was disguised,
and. as the shot had scared of the
real live ones, we returned to camp.
The natives. both mine and those
from the village, returned to the pool
and towed the dead hippo back to the
landing. There they cut il up to eat.
! sat by myself and meditated on the
question of how to learn to hunt
African animals without any one to
teach me.
A F'TER this episode I. spent almost
"A the entire succeeding 10 days on
the river studying and watching the
hippoS. There arc many pools and
many hippos on this stretch Of river.
Sometimes the animals would be con-
II
find as many as two dozen basking
in the sun on some sandbank or
bobbing up and down in the water in
a social party.
At other times these same animals
would be scattered over a dozen miles
of water. There would be single bulls
or perhaps parties of two or three or
an old COW with It's calf.
Although the hippo spends more
than half it's time in the water, 1t is
not reallys water animal. In pre-
historic or near prehistoric times
hippos probably were entirely land or
marsh animals. AT that time large
animals of all kinds were numerous
and in the resulting struggle TO secure
food and to escape from enemies. the
hippo of those days came to spend
more and more of its time in the slip
perry marshes and rivers.
A hippo needs a tremendous amount
of green stuff to keep his huge body
going, and such forage is found most
