Found this video of a mean young female hippo in Burkina. She needs to meet Mark Sullivan and his double Wink

Hippos are not hunted in Burkina.

We were there mid-day and made a ton of noise when we were at the riverbank.

We did not encroach on her - she and the other hippos swam towards us.

She did this twice on two different days. I will try and find the other video.

She would try and sneak up on you. If you look at the video you can see her taking little steps coming towards us. In the other incident she tried to like sneak up on us - taking small steps thinking we would not notice her inching closer.

We did not once try to get close to her - she always swam and came towards us. There were no little hippos near us.

I think she was just mean and wanted to chomp on me. I did not and still do not like her Cool

I think someone has been feeding her and she was just looking for a handout.

No one has been feeding it - barely any contact with human. Just a mean girl.

Maybe she just had the hots for you.

We shot one of here buddies not far (other side of the boarder) a month before you hunted there :-)
Once they cross the boarder they get hunted.
