The most interesting detail of this story IMO is that they may have been released into the Louisiana bayou. Imagine these creatures wild in the swamps!

- Aleksdev 4y agoI feel like that’s the perfect climate and temperature for the hippos to thrive, they love the heat. I believe hippos were accidentally introduced into Columbia and took over some of the places because of the perfect climate conditions.
- willdough 3y agoI dunno. No one has brought up the question of whether hippo meat is tasty or not. If it were tasty then Louisianans would cook 'em up and eat 'em! Anyone tried a hippo burger? How much meat on a hippo? How much fat? Is the fat tasty? Is hippo leather useful?
