    Extractions: Females sexually mature between the ages of 7 to 15 years but usually by the age of 9. Males sexually mature between the ages of 4 to 11 but usually by age 7. Mating season coincides with the dry season when hippo populations are concentrated at water sources. Mating usually occurs in the water and females are sometimes completely submerged. As a result females must push their heads above water to take occasional breaths of air.

    Extractions: Hippo Conservation is critical to the overall health of African wetlands. These ecosystems have evolved for millions of years with hippos living in them. Hippos often live in groups of tens to hundreds. The removal of this multi-ton species from a habitat would obviously have dramatic, though unpredictable, consequences. To learn more, visit the Hippo SubGroup's country-by-country assessments of hippo conservation status and protection efforts or download the text of the hippo-related portions of the IUCN Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan : Pigs, Peccaries, and Hippos Edited by William L.R. Oliver. Current Status The last formal estimate of the common and pygmy hippo populations occured in 1993. Those estimates suggested approximately 157,000 common hippos and no more than 3,000 pygmy hippos remain in the wild. The last formal assessment of the conservation status of hippos by the Hippo SubGroup occurred 1996. The results of the assessment are published in the IUCN Red List Common hippos ( Hippopatmus amphibius

    Extractions: Friends of the Hippo is committed to improving the living conditions of hippos in captivity and in the wild. Through communications with zoo personnel, animal protection agencies, wildlife conservation organizations, and members of the general public interested in the welfare of hippos, we aim to encourage people to support the betterment of the hippos' care in zoos, circuses, and other situations where the animals are kept. It is important to us that the hippos are kept safe and healthy, in a protected, natural environment, allowing them to flourish. Guidelines for the Save the Hippos! Mailing List

    Extractions: Where the Wild Things Are Water in the Desert By W. Scott Leach Camp fires have a strange ability to bring people together in order to ponder the important questions of life, especially when that fire is built under a star-filled sky that stretches over southern Africa. For many nights, my friends and I discussed questions like "Who would win in a fight between the top 10 fiercest animals of North America versus the top 10 wildest animals of Africa?" We decided that, when it comes down to it, the animals of Africa would dominate the animals of North America, hands down. Contrary to what many people may believe, cities and towns in Africa do not have wild elephants walking around the streets. In fact, cities like Cape Town and Bulawayo are almost exactly like cities in the United States. The southern reign of Africa is becoming more and more developed and less and less wild. The magnificent elephants, giraffes and lions that have come to represent Africa are being pushed into national parks or into places that are still too wild for humans to fully develop. The Okavango Delta is made up of such a complex maze of waterways, islands and rivers that it is impossible to navigate through it without local help. For this reason, it has long been protected from intrusive outsiders. Natives of the Okavango Delta live by supporting themselves off of fish caught in the rivers and streams. The main form of transportation consists of canoes dug-out, or mekoros, pushed by long poles. The polers who navigate the Delta have been learning the different water paths and islands since childhood, the knowledge being passed down from generation to generation, father to son. When asked how long it would take to get from the northern end of the Delta to the southernmost end, a poler replied to me, in a matter-of-fact way, "A month and a half."

    Extractions: A Wild Tracks Weekend By Sue Sealey H aving sampled the delights of an overflowing Livingstone for the Easter weekend with one set of visitors, we wondered where to take our twenty year old son during his ten day visit to Zambia the following weekend. It would be great to go there again to see the hotels full of people and the Falls full of water, but the six hour drive was not inviting. In two years here, we had not yet seen the Lower Zambezi with the Dam and Lake at Kariba, so we drove south once again, but this time to take the plunge off the escarpment to reach the Lower Zambezi at Chirundu. Turning left and twenty five kilometres later we arrived at Wild Tracks, less than three hours drive from Lusaka. After we settled into our family chalet, with close up view of the river and hippos, we sat down to a sumptuous lunch. Arriving early we had plenty of time to plan our three days with Scott who runs the camp. Archery, rock climbing (up a big Baobab) abseiling, fishing, sunset cruising, sunbathing, swimming, night walking – plenty to choose from. Our first adventure was Archery, a sport we had not tried before. After some expert tuition we were all able to hit the target, at least once! As the sun began to fall in the sky we set off with Clement, the resident boatman, to view the sunset from the river. We took along fishing rods to hang over the side of the pontoon but sadly caught nothing, though there were plenty of bites. It is quite an experience to be focusing on the rod when suddenly a group of hippos lift their heads out of the water only fifty metres away.

29. Fascinating Facts About The Hippo
    Being fearlessly protective of their turf and young, hippos have killedmore than 400 people in Africa more than any other wild animal.  
    http://www.didyouknow.cd/animals/hippo.htm
    
    Extractions: In the Wild - Orangutans with Julia Roberts Hippos have killed more people than any other animal The hippo's yawn is not a sign of sleepiness or boredom but is actually a threat gesture, displaying long, thick, razor-sharp canine teeth, or tusks, with which it is capable of biting a small boat in half. Being fearlessly protective of their turf and young, hippos have killed more than 400 people in Africa - more than any other wild animal. Hippopotamus amphibius means "river horse." The hippo, weighing 1 800 kg (4,000 pounds) and more, lives in Africa, south of the Sahara and along the length of the Nile river, although its range once included Asia and large parts of Europe. Hippos prefer rivers with deep water and nearby reed beds and grasslands, but are also found in salt-water areas near river mouths, and in lakes in Central Africa. They are hoofed vegetarians, feeding on grass, fallen fruit, and occasionally on cultivated crops such as sugar cane or corn during the night. They spend most of the day in the water. The hippo is the third biggest land animals, slightly smaller but heavier than a white rhino (the elephant is the biggest). In spite of its huge size - 3 metres (12 feet) in length, 1,5 metres (five feet) tall, with a mouth measuring a half metre (two feet) across - the hippopotamus can outrun a human. The bellowing of a bull hippo measures an ear-splitting 115 decibels, sounding like the roar of a lion.

    Extractions: MOREMI NATIONAL PARK - Moremi National Park is part of the Okavango Delta and is about 100km from Maun. The nature inside the park varies a lot, from deserts to green wetlands. We camped inside the park on a camping lot without fences in the middle of all animals. At night you hear lions groan and we even were scared to death when at night a hippo came grazing towards our tent. Fortunately it stopped only 1 meter away from the tent.

    Extractions: Part cookbook and part women's history, Wild Women in the Kitchen by the Wild Women Association dishes up a scrumptious smorgasbord of treats for the taste buds: spicy revelations about some of the world's most stimulating women and the meals that made them sizzle, and dozens of piquant quotations of the pleasures of the palate. Fans of unconventional females and unconditionally delicious food will find much to savor in these pages. Like the saucy rebels and red-hot mamas (not to mention a few truly tough cookies) who inspired it, this spirited volume stirs the imagination, seduces the senses, and serves up some very nourishing sustenance for the soul. In 1992, with the publication of Wild Women by Autumn Stephens, Conari Press founded the Wild Women Association. Today there are over 3,000 card-carrying Wild Women in cities throughout the world-and some even meet regularly with their untamed and uproarious sisters in an effort to encourage wildness. The Association's primary purpose is to rediscover and rewrite our wild foresisters back into history. Call 800-685-9595 for information.
