Hippopotamus Engraved Keychain
The hippopotamus engraved key chain is engraved with the image of a hippo (short name). The name hippopotamus means “river horse”. Hippos are the third-largest animals after rhinos and elephants, found in Africa. In Uganda, you find them in all National Parks, where there is a river.
This hippopotamus engraved key chain is unique and a very good item for animal lovers. If you have ever seen hippos and loved them, this key chain helps you to have fresh memories of them. You can even customize it with the name of the place, i.e. National Park, where you saw them. Hippos are only in Africa. But worryingly, their population is decreasing due to poaching. Poachers hunt them for meat and make a profit as well. Their meat is a pricey delicacy.
In Uganda, I saw people selling this kind of meat at a small trading centre, just after crossing the bridge at Kafu River, on the way to Gulu. I, therefore, appeal to wildlife authorities to do something to stop their degeneration, caused by man’s activities.
