Text Appearing Before Image:
When the hippopotauuis is swimniing in deep water, onlv no.strils, eyes, and eur.s can be ieen above the surface. The British Government has been obliged to modify the protective law that cov- ered these great beasts for under protection they grow bold and come ashore at night to feed in the plantations — with appetites proportionately as large as their bodies
Text Appearing After Image:
At work on a hippopotamus, to prepare its skin and skeleton for scientific use. —Before going to Africa I had no realization of the amount of labor it is, in a hot climate, to prepare large thick skins like those of the hippopotamus and rhinoceros for scientific purposes. And the handicap for a scien- tific e.xpedition rests in the great number of men that must be taken along from camp to camp to carry the ponderously heavy skins and help in their preparation. Chosen natives were trained so that under supervision they could successfully remove a skin, but to insure success under the tropical sun, the work had to be done immediately after the specimen was shot. The equipment for the work is proportionately cumbersome and a problem for transportation ; for instance, we used four tons of salt in curing skins in the field in British East Africa 333
