On Lake Edward in Congo. Rob of the Congo Rangers blog writes:
This picture was just sent to me that I think is really great… the Hippo, a male, lives near Kasindi Port on the shores of Lake Edward. The Hippo is habituated to humans and likes playing with the fishermen on the boats. Apparently I am told he also likes having his neck scratched which you can see here.
The hippos and the rangers have been through a lot together. Mai Mai raiders have been slaughtering hippos wholesale and terrorizing the rangers and their families, but apparently the situation is under better control now, thanks to the efforts of the rangers featured in Rob's blog.
