Two-ton hippo leaves zoo to swim through flooded village in Montenegro

[JoeProBono]

Nikica, the hippopotamus walks partially submerged in a flooded yard at a village in Berislavci, about 15 miles south of the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica.

Now there’s something you don’t see every day ping.

[To Hell With Poverty]

I know those things are vicious killers but brrrrr, I still feel sorry for it. Gotta be freezing in that winter water!

[Nowhere Man]

I want a hippopatamous for Christmas. B-D

No other quadruped kills as many humans as hippos on dry land. These folks probably don’t have a clue how dangerous this is.

Now there’s something you don’t see every day ping.

Every other day, tops.

That is one of the funniest pictures I’ve seen all day. Wish I could photoshop.

Thats why I keep a .416 around just in case something like this happens.

Hippos look so cute and cuddly until they eat you.

[Slings and Arrows]

The view is different from inside.

[TheOldLady]

Haven’t had the pleasure yet, and don’t intend to. Ever.

[Popman]

Probably just piss him off

Hippos are Mother Nature’s most ill-temperered herbivore. That’s why I found the scene in the original Jurassic Park movie amusing where the the kids are petting a Brachiosaurus after Dr. Grant describes them as “kind of a big cow”. If a hippo has a bad attitude, imagine the temperament of an animal weighing 80 tons!

Michelle takes a swim.

You’re not missing much.

Montenegro? Hippo? They should have named it Nero Wolfe.
