Hippo Swims Out of Flooded Montenegro Zoo, Into Village
2010-01-12
PODGORICA, Montenegro -- A hippo escaped from a flooded private zoo in Montenegro Tuesday, shocking villagers who found her strolling near their homes.

Nikica escaped as heavy rains sent water flooding through the zoo, raising the water level in her pen and allowing her to swim over the top of the cage surrounding it.

The 11-year-old hippo made her way to the nearby hamlet of Plavnica, where she was still walking around Tuesday afternoon. "When I got out from my house to feed my cow, I saw a hippo standing in front of the stall," said villager Nikola Radovic. "I thought I was going mad."...
I just want to know one thing: did the local radio station play "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" last month?
