Meet Paul Templer, a former tour guide in Zimbabwe who was conducting photographic safaris for tourists when he had a harrowing experience with an aggressive hippopotamus. Templer had always loved the wildlife and natural beauty of Zimbabwe, and he was thrilled to have a job where he could share his passion with visitors. However, one day in 1996, things took a terrifying turn. While leading a canoe expedition down the Zambezi River, Templer and his group encountered a pod of hippos. Despite his attempts to keep a safe distance, the hippos became agitated, and one attacked a canoe carrying several members of the expedition. Templer rushed to rescue his guide, who had fallen into the water and was being swept away by the current, but as he approached, a massive hippo attacked him, pulling him into its jaws. Templer was trapped waist-deep in the hippo’s throat until the animal eventually spat him out. Despite his ordeal, Templer survived and went on to start a new chapter in his life, becoming an advocate for environmental conservation and wildlife safety.
