Your Say
Hippos kill more people in Africa than lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
It would have been interesting and disastrous if they had succeeded in importing the beasts. With no natural enemies they would have become a bigger plague than feral hogs.
My uncle Letsgo Lozko was approached on the project but turned them down.
He explained he didn't want to be called "Hippopotamus" Lozko.
