Crease to top fore-corner of upper cover; trace of foxing to outermost leaves and edges. Very good condition. "The story of Huberta holds a mystery - why did a young female hippo choose to wander nearly a thousand kilometres down the South African coast alone? We shall never know the exact answer to this riddle. We can only put together as many pieces of the puzzle as possible and try to make some sense of them. Many people met her on her strange journey and many anecdotes and legends grew around her. Some of these stories are untrue, others are exaggerations with a grain of truth in them. Still others are verified by many sources. All these sources had to be sifted and from these siftings has come this book." .

Huberta the hippopotamus is one of the most famous animals in South African history. In November 1928 Huberta left her waterhole in the St. Lucia Estuary in Kwa-Zulu Natal province and set off on the 1600 km journey to the Eastern Cape, a journey which would take her three years. In that time Huberta became a minor celebrity and attracted crowds wherever she went. She was initially thought to be a male and was nicknamed Hubert by the press. She stopped for a while at the mouth of the Mhlanga River in KZN where a failed attempt was made to capture her and put her in the Johannesburg Zoo. After this she headed south to Durban where she visited a beach and a country club. Moving on to the Umgeni River she became revered by Zulus and Xhosas alike. Finally she arrived in East London in March 1931. Despite her having been declared Royal Game (and thus protected) by the Natal Provincial Council, she was shot by hunters a month later. After a public outcry the hunters were arrested and fined. Huberta's body was recovered and sent to a taxidermist in London. Upon her return to South Africa in 1932 she was greeted by 20,000 people and can now be seen in the Amathole Museum in King William's Town.
