How do you hunt them-decoys or pass shooting-night or day-on water or on land?
Is is hippopotamuses or hippopotami?
How do you sterilize these suckers without making then mad?
How do you cook them?

According to this page, the taste is "It is my personal opinion that hippo meat is one of the finest of game foods … The taste is mild, less than lamb and more than beef, slightly more marbled than usual venison. It tastes exactly like, well, hippo."

1. Anything rifle caliber that ends in Rigby, 'tho the .275 may be a wee bit light for the application.
2. Go where the hippopotami are. Also where the hippopotamuses are. (Or the wild things...)
3. See #2.
4.

. Wikipedia says it's $50K per hippo. Seems like a lowball figure to me.

5. First, build a really big fire...
6.

You're welcome!

And all this for the "cocaine" hippos Pablo imported? Rep. Broussard would approve.....

Read Capsticks description of the sporting method to shoot hippos. Basically he recommends using a big bore rifle, coming up as close as possible in shallow water until the herd bull charges you at about 25-40 yards. Then as it approaches like a freight train with its mouth gaping open and those 4 huge tusks showing, carefully shoot it right in the adenoids and break its spine before it reaches you. Sounds like fun. Don't miss.

Whenever friends gathered and we played, we carefully removed the chomping hippo heads. This left each player with a neck and a hole in the board. It became four-way battle hockey. Each swipe with a hippo neck (well timed) would rocket a marble in a random direction at high speed.

The goal was to get as many in to other players' ummmm hole

The only pitfall in game play was that keeping your hippo neck extended meant your goal could never be breached, so it was half honor system and half screaming at the cheater who was blocking his own hole.

Fun times!

Is a hippopotamus a hippopotamus, or just a really cool opatamus?

In memory of Mitch Hedburg.

What would happen if the hippos, rhinos and elephants began cross breeding?
Helefino.

You could drop this one with a Zippo lighter and recover the meat already cooked

By the way, what's the difference between a hippo and a Zippo?
One's big and heavy and the other's a little lighter.

What does it taste like?

Elephino....

A cross between an elephant and a rhino!

I believe they shop at Wal Mart, almost always in the center of the aisle.

I once shot a hippo in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.
