| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In the southwest of Côte d'Ivoire, a hippopotamus capsized a boat in a river, leaving 11 people missing, including a baby. This was reported by the country's Minister of National Cohesion and Solidarity Belmondo Dogo. “It is with great sadness that we learned of the disappearance of 11 people, including women, girls and a baby, after a boat capsized due to a hippopotamus attack,” she wrote on Facebook (owned by Meta, a company recognized as extremist and banned in Russia). The incident occurred on the morning of September 5 on the Sassandra River near the town of Buyo. There were 14 people in the boat, three of whom were rescued. The search for the rest continues. Hippos are considered herbivores, but there have been recorded cases of them attacking people. In December 2023, a hippopotamus attacked two zookeepers in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, maiming one of them. |
