Local Fisherman And Tourist Killed In Kenya Hippo Attacks

A local fisherman and a Chinese tourist were killed in a single day by hippo attacks in Kenya’s Rift Valley, authorities reported.

Tourist Chang Ming Chuang, 66, was fatally bitten Saturday evening as he was taking photos of hippos near Lake Naivasha, said a statement by the Kenyan Wildlife Service.

A witness told The Star of Kenya that Chang moved too close to the animal, which suddenly turned on him and snapped at his chest.

Chang’s companion, Wu Peng Te, 62, was also attacked, but he only suffered bruises and was treated at a local hospital and released.

The maulings occurred hours after the fisherman was attacked just miles away in the same area, said officials.

The fisherman was also bitten on the chest. “His injuries were serious and he died minutes after he was retrieved from the lake,” Rift Valley criminal investigations chief Gideon Kibunja told The Associated Press.
