Under the hashtag #TweetLikeKWS, social media users tore down the Kenya Wildlife Service for an erroneous tweet where they seemingly could not identify a hippo.

 It all started with a simple confusion as KWS apparently wanted to use a picture of a hippo but they confused the picture with that of a rhino.

The social media fraternity, impelled by the KWS error, came up with the #TweetlikeKWS hashtag where troll after troll they made fun of the country’s agency in charge of wildlife.

Here are some of the hilarious reactions from KOT that made the KWS wake up:

Crocodiles are generally social. However, adult males will share territory with females, but drive off rival males. #TweetlikeKWS pic.twitter.com/oBy3Sk6KKL — Saffir.co (@njooro)

This caught the attention of KWS who took to their twitter handle to apologize for the mistake:

“We apologize for inadvertently posting the picture of a white rhino instead of a hippo. We have since corrected the error.”

#KOT was already charged and even the apology could not go without being trolled:
