The saga of the hippos continues. 😅
Now the ecological problem lies with *dead* hippos gumming up the rivers.
We're all about filling up weird bingo cards today! 😅
@MLClark are all these hippos related to Escobar’s hippos?
There's a great book called River of Teeth, which is a western with hippos. "An 1890s America that might have been: a bayou overrun by feral hippos and mercenary hippo wranglers from around the globe." It's loosely inspired by a 1910 plan to release hippos into the bayous to eat invasive water hyacinth.
Hippos are intense.
"Dead Bloated floating hippo" is the name of my new punk polka band
@MLClark OMG! How did I not know that there were hippos in Columbia, courtesy of Escobar! You're such a wealth of interesting information! Sucks about the dead ones, though...
@MLClark Oh, that's sad ... Although seeing an upside-down hippo floater was not on my to-do list for the day ...
