Hippo Gets Stuck In Water Tower
06/30/09 - Odd Articles
“An overheating hippo was so desperate to cool down that he climbed over the side of a 3m (10ft) water tower for a nice long soak. However, after happily splashing around for a while, the mammal found it could not get out of the pool and was well and truly stuck. Luckily, a farm worker noticed water spilling over the side of the concrete container and spotted two enormous nostrils poking out of the tank. He immediately rang for help and, within hours, rescuers arrived at the farm in Alkmaar, just outside Nelspruit in South Africa.” w/ photos
