Part 5/15:
In another shocking tale from 2011, South African farmer Marius Els lost his life to Humphrey, a 2,600-pound hippo he had raised since infancy. Known for their aggressive nature and as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, hippos can be territorial and unpredictable. Despite warnings, Els maintained a close relationship with Humphrey, believing he could fully tame the beast. When attacked, Els was dragged into a river, where he was later found dead, underscoring the dangers of underestimating the wild instincts of animals, regardless of the bond formed.
