Ancestor is back from deployment and prepared to begin contributing. I have nothing to add re. my most recent and boring trip to Kuwait with respect to animals. But I can confirm from my previous deployment to Africa that one of the first things that African armies brief are animal threats. My buddies and I have a running joke about the XO of a Rwandan Battalion giving the Enemy Forces portion of an OPORD brief. He went directly from Islamist militants to "the snakebite, the scorpion bite, and the Nairobis Flies bites".
And concur on the hippo. Terrifying beast.
