Eldorado Posted December 15, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 15, 2022 In an African twist on the Biblical legend of Jonah and the whale, a toddler in Uganda has miraculously survived being gulped down and then regurgitated by a hippo. The two-year-old boy, who was named as Paul Iga, was playing near his home about 800 yards from the shores of Lake Edward in the west of the country. The hippo grabbed the child in its huge jaws and was in the process of swallowing him when a local man saw what happened and started frantically pelting the animal with stones. The startled hippo regurgitated the child and lumbered off back towards the lake. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/hungry-hippo-swallows-toddler-and-then-spits-him-out-alive/ar-AA15iZam? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a lot of people who live in closer proximity to Hippos or they just aren't aware of the danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
