Hippos mainly live in lakes or rivers. They can be easily found in South Africa

Now let’s watch a short video about them……..
They are really horrible
(Alfred Dube victim)
There are about 300 people die per year from hippo attacks

What if you meet a hippo, what should you do , here are few survival tips
If you’re in a canoe
• Tap the side of the boat to signal your position so hippos do not come up beneath you.

• Keep your distance when on foot. Avoid thickets where hippos may be skulking.

• Listen out for oxpecker calls – a warning sign that there may be a hippo around.

• Clapping your hands, waving your arms
Your only hope is to seek immediate refuge behind or up a tree or behind a termite mound.

You should also keep calm if you really meet a hippo and immediately find rescue.
But to prevent those accident happens, dont go near lakes or rivers .

    Pride, greed, and vanity. All three of the words I just listed are how Doodle, the sweet special needs boy, was killed by his brother. If you read this story, you will discover that leading up to Doodles death, all of these words are present. The Scarlet Ibis starts out with Brother’s (the narrator) baby brother being born. He is born in his caul, which means he is special. When Doodle is born, it turns out he is disabled with a heart condition. Brother is upset, and even kind of wants to kill him. But, slowly, Doodle begins to get better. He starts smiling and crawling backward, which is how he gets his nickname Doodle. One day, when Doodle is now 5, Brother is embarrassed to have a brother who is getting older and still can not walk. Brother decides to teach him how to walk. Brother is not very careful with Doodle, but he does it and ends up teaching Doodle how to walk. It is a glorious moment since Doodle is now able to be more normal, but he still has to be careful to not overclock his weak…

    One upside down, orange sunrise morning, Lambkin was dizzily cartwheeling his way to school along the same dirt path that he always took. It was a narrow dirt road that took him past some very interesting sites. One of these sites was a large, blue, glittery lake and another was a wall of grassy rock that jutted out at the top to make a sort-of craggy roof. On this particular day, under the craggy, sort-of roof, there stood, no less than, an enormous, (and when I say enormous I mean very big), grey elephant. Now I know you must be saying that of course he was grey, because all elephants are grey, but nevertheless, he was grey, so I will continue. Lambkin took one look at that big, grey elephant and he smiled a…

    The Haunting of Hill House

    • 2050 Words
    • 9 Pages

    I choose to interpret the representation of cars in The Haunting of Hill House. In this novel, a car is first represented as a means of control over Eleanor by her sister (Jackson 7). However, Eleanor’s stealing of the car transforms the car into a representation of freedom from her present life (Jackson 10). The car allows Eleanor to be free of her controlled life and to begin her own journey (Jackson 10). We observe the same car at the conclusion of the novel as a device used to free herself from her forced departure of Hill House (Jackson 178). She uses the car to commit suicide, allowing her to stay at Hill House indefinitely (Jackson 182). I argue that in the novel the car is utilized for control over Eleanor but ultimately for her personal freedom. The car is what liberates Eleanor from her life prior to Hill House and also from her forced departure. I will also argue that the significance of Eleanor’s car being used for freedom is that it shows the transformation of Eleanor’s mental state. The difference in Eleanor’s idea of freedom, travel versus suicide, makes the demise of Eleanor’s mental state evident.…

    A hippopotamus symbolizes Cliff Quackenbush almost perfectly. Hippopotami are often the subject of rude and out-of-place jokes and insults just as Cliff Quackenbush was in the text. Hippos are often made fun of simply for their somewhat “funny-looking” appearance much like Cliff Quackenbush was “systematically disliked since he first set foot in Devon” (Knowles, 78), and was the target of “careless, disinterested insults” (Knowles, 78). Hippos are remarkably strong and incredibly intelligent animals who are well adapted to their environment, and while they can be peaceful if not provoked, they are noticeably fierce creatures. Cliff Quackenbush is described as having “furious arrogance which sprang out now at the mere hint of opposition from…

    Brett Favre Narrative

    I shouldn't have told them I live on a farm with a barn, ten chickens, a dog, a canary, two thousand deer, coyotes and beautiful Silver Bass Lake. When I say beautiful lake, I mean it in the past tense. Each year the water level drops several inches, and we now refer to it more accurately as "the puddle" threatening to transform into a wetland. But even though you can't swim because of the weeds that entangle your appendages, you can still kayak! Just be sure you wear muck boots with your swimsuit because we traditionally portage the kayak a quarter mile down the bank to find water deep enough to push in. The bloodsuckers are also a turnoff. In the last year I have only had two bloodsuckers (leeches with small teeth) attach to me. The anticoagulant kept my leg bleeding for around two…

    I have spent many days observing the animals, watching them find the necessities of our human day-to-day life; for example finding food and water. This tropical terrain illustrates how animals in the wild do things very differently to those in an enclosed sanctuary. My journey was about to take an unexpected turn. It would become a tremendously memorable experience.…

    On April 24th I attended Stony Brook’s annual Earthstock celebration with Golden Key, the club I am. Earthstock is an event held to spread awareness of why we should protect our environment. It also gives examples of how to conserve our planet in various ways. While there were many tables with different themes at Earthstock, our table allowed for whoever wanted to stop by, to plant their own seeds. Participants then got to bring home their newly planted seeds with hopes that they will grow into a beautiful flower to put in their garden. One of the other tables I spent a lot of time with was the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. This table attracted me due to the furry animal that was there. I got to meet the little guy who was a rescued opossum. The organization told me he was two years old and that they had saved him from his mother’s pouch after she was hit by a car. He was very sweet and cute and anyone was allowed to pet him.…

    Throughout the African Republic, to the edge of Congo, there use to roam some 300,000 elephants in the 1970's. Today, thanks to the efforts of humans, less than 10,000 elephants now roam this area. In a smaller perspective, in 1985, before poaching laws were put into legislature, 4,308 live elephants were counted in Zakouma, Chad, compared to the 7,861 found dead. In 2006, conversationist J. Michael Fay counted 3,020 elephants in Zakouma, nearly 900 less than the previous year (Fay, Michael J. ). Shockingly, Zakouma is a refuge site for wildlife under armed protection and still, these large decreases in wildlife are being…
