“Humphrey the Hippo” was “like a son” to 40-year-old Marius Els, a South African farmer.
Els adopted the dangerous beast when it was found as a calf. He raised it, nurtured it, and regularly went for rides on the good ole Humphrey’s back.
“It’s a little bit dangerous, but I trust him with my heart that he will not harm anybody,” Els recently said in an interview with the Daily Mirror. “I can swim with him. I go in the water. He allows me to get on his back, and I ride him like a horse. He swims with me.”
