Description

Excerpt from Wild Beasts and Their Ways, Vol. 2: Reminiscences of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America

When we have been ourselves eye-witnesses of such a change within the short interval of a few years, it becomes easy to comprehend the disappearance of the hippopotamus during the last thousand or fifteen hundred years. This animal, in like manner with the crocodile, would not migrate suddenly to a distant point, but would gradually recede before advancing civilisation, and would disappear from a district by slow degrees that would hardly be appreciated at the time of its retreat.
