A safari guide has told of his terrifying experience being swallowed by a “monster hippo” that ripped his arm off and “threw him around like a ragdoll”.
Paul Templer was working as a canoe safari guide in Zimbabwe, spending his days guiding tourists down the Zambezi River, when the horrifying ordeal, which left him with 39 “major bite wounds” took place.
The terrifying incident took place on March 9, 1996, and Paul said he had started off the day with a “sense of foreboding”.
