COLOMBIA: EVEN WEIRDER THAN MIAMI?
BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombia has called off the hunt to kill a drug
lord's escaped hippo and will instead try to relocate the beast after
its mate was shot dead by order of the government, sparking outrage
from animal rights groups.

Maybe they can match it up with that broken hearted penguin that just got dumped.

so hippos are related to horses, not cows. Why is a hippo baby a "calf" and not a "colt"?

Here's the BBC report of the hippocide. Colombia kills drug baron hippo, which makes the hippo sound even more sinister.
