Don’t cry, my dear hippo
Where was the last time you saw a #hippo? – On television, at a zoo or on in the wetlands of Africa?
It may be hard to imagine a hippo appearing on the street right in front of your door.
Residents in Yuanli Township in #Taiwan were surprised to see a hippo lying in the middle of a road – heavily injured.
According to Taiwan-based China Times, the 2-meter-long hippo fell out of truck while being transported. Witnesses said that it broke its teeth and had tear-like watery secretions coming out of its eyes.
Local police contacted veterinarians who gave it anesthetics. The hippo was later lifted by a hoist and taken away.
