There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I belive that I also remember that documentary, but I am not sure. The fact that Gustave was "very large" may be a factor. In fact, Hippos had an average weight of only 831 kg in some adult female populations (Zambia), so an outsized male of 700 - 900 kg is a real danger for those small adult females, specially if they have youngs.

Did you remember in what region lived Gustave?
