Yaldor and her husband said they were riding in a two-person canoe when the attack happened. As they paddled, a hippo emerged from underneath and capsized the canoe.
“Immediately, I was grabbed and pulled underneath the water,” she said.
Her husband managed to swim back to shore. When he turned around, he saw her right leg still in the hippo’s mouth.
She continuously punched the hippo to make it let go of her.
