## Resource

A newlywed couple’s dream honeymoon turned into a nightmare in Botswana when Janice Simpson was fatally attacked by a hippopotamus during a canoe trip in the Okavango Delta—just two weeks after their wedding. Her husband, Bruce, witnessed the brutal assault and was also injured. Janice, described as vibrant and deeply in love, had met her husband through work and was celebrating their marriage when tragedy struck. The attack occurred after they diverted from their route due to an elephant herd, leading them into reeds where the hippo ambushed them. The incident echoes another recent hippo attack on Diana Tilden-Davis, a safari entrepreneur, raising concerns that drought-induced stress may be making wildlife more aggressive.
