S04E02 The Hippo

In Zambia's Luangwa Valley, an overwhelming number of hippos gather to feed, putting the survival of other wildlife at risk. As a result, park authorities conduct an annual cull of approximately 200 hippos. This situation provides veterinary scientist Mark Evans and comparative anatomist Joy Reidenberg the chance to explore and dissect one of these impressive creatures, gaining valuable insights into their anatomy and ecological impact.
