Re: Hippos, the African ones...

How do they stack up cost-wise and especially population-wise {that is, huntable populations} compared to elephants?

Do you see them becoming more and more popular as a large game animal as elephant prices skyrocket?

It is one thing to read the stats on them; size, weight, etc and to see one in a zoo but definitely something different again to see your pix of you and the dead critter. Huge and really amazing animals in their own right.
