Hippopotami and crocodiles live in the lake, and nerby lives the Bamburi tribe. The women of this tribe had had their faces disfigured by inserting large wooden disks into their upper lips, giving them a duckbill appearance. This practice was originated to protect the women from slave traders, and today is worn by some as a mark of tribal distinction. Deep in the Ituri Forest of the Belgian Congo lives the Ifi tribe of African Pygmies. These tiny people (average height for men, 55"; women, 52") display their ability as forest hunters and their enjoyment of dancing to native chants and rhythms.
