South African Man Killed By Pet Hippo

A man who lived in South Africa was attacked and dragged into a river by his pet hippo, which he had raised from a baby. Several years earlier, he had rescued the baby hippo from a flood and decided to take care of the animal. He sometimes rode the hippo, despite receiving warnings about the dangers of keeping a wild animal. Unfortunately, while they were both in the river, the hippo attacked him and tragically dragged him to his death.
