Hippo Charges Boat in Malawi, Killing Infant and Leaving 23 Missing

A hippopotamus crashed into a canoe carrying 37 people across a river in Southern Malawi, causing it to capsize.
Rescue efforts saved 13 people but a 1-year-old child died and 23 others remain missing.
Locals want authorities to relocate hippos from the area due to frequent dangerous encounters and attacks.
The hippo attack occurred on the Shire River which is also home to crocodiles, compounding the threat.
The boat was carrying people from their village to work fields across the river in Mozambique when the hippo struck.
