Wow!
A hefty hippo chased away from his herd at a South African game reserve has found a refreshing place to relax: the lodge’s swimming pool. Now it’s stuck there….Wentzel said the 4-year-old hippo’s mother gave birth recently, and more dominant males forced him from the herd.
The staff has been feeding the hippo. Ferreira said it’s been noticeably relaxed with no other hippos fighting it for dominance, though the water in the pool has been getting mucky with hippo poop. The pool will be entirely drained before the hippo is lifted out.
Because the hippo was chased away by his herd, it will be moved to another animal sanctuary, Ferreira said.
Can you imagine what that pool will look like after its been decanted? Also what a rough job it’ll be for the biologists removing the brute. Hippos are HUGE and VERY dangerous.
Man I thought it was yucky when I’d see my neighbor scooping dead frogs out of their pool, and the occasional squirrel!
“They then found they were at the wrong address. Apologies were given to Ms. O’Donnell.”
