SYNOPSIS

Strong, fast and semi-aquatic, the hippo is one of Africa's biggest wildlife management challenges.The use of tranquilizer darts is nearly impossible, as a threatened hippo will dart straight for the nearest body of water and dig in. If the animal has been tranquilized, it can drown before the drug wears off, hampering the efforts of wildlife specialists.
