It makes a difference. St Lucia Hippos, KwaZulu-Natal Video Details I continue the adventures in South Africa, but this time north of the Drakensburg to St Lucia, located in the Greater St Lucia Wetlands Park. After local entertainment we jumped into a slow boat to spot the river wildlife. The river and town are known for the hippos that roam freely in the area. Hippos are one of Africa’s most dangerous animals. The hippo is responsible for more human fatalities in Africa than any other large animal. Indecently the second most dangerous animal is the malaria-spreading mosquito. Hippos can run at speeds of over 20 miles an hour and they have enormous jaws which host up to 20-inch canines. There are around 800 hippos in the park. The hippo's closest living relative is the whale. Hippos can even kill crocodiles. Hippos consume over 100 pounds of vegetation per day. They are extremely territorial. Small boats beware. Only six of the 23 crocodilian species are considered dangerous to adult humans. One of the species with the most well-known and documented reputation for preying on humans is the Nile crocodile. There area around hosts around 1,200 in the wetlands. The wetlands are also known for birds. Over a hundred different species can be spotted on a good day. After the boat ride we decided to visit the local croc camp for a closer look at these ancient monsters. And as the sun set, the summer evening storms move in to provide a free show.
