Hippopotamus Humphrey was “like a son” to South African farmer Marius Els. The man raised his pet from the age of 5 months. Marius used to “ride” his 1,200 kg hippo’s back in the past. And now Mr. Els is gone.
It’s not that safe to have a relationship with the most dangerous animal in Africa. Marius was gouged by his 6-year-old pet to death. The animal repeatedly bit his owner in a fierce attack. The 41-year-old man’s mutilated body submerged in a river. He had been dead for an unknown period of time. His death was tragic.

Show all commentsbut yeah, people just shouldnt have wild animals as pets, especially the one of the most dangerous animals in africa
It's his fan club I can't stand!!
how so?
Watch a cow get crazy when you have to deal with a calf
It's a shame this happened. Mr. Els meant well, but wild animals are meant to be wild. Caretakers at sanctuaries are very respectful of their charges at all times.
I just hope the hippo wasn't killed.
