Hippos are the worst. After being bullied by his herd, a South African hippopotamus has found sanctuary in an eight-foot-deep swimming pool at the . One problem: there are no steps, so the four-year-old beast is stuck. Officials have been feeding him and say that he’s seemed relatively relaxed since escaping the more dominant males. The pool was deep enough for the animal to have a swim, but the lodge staff has had to slowly drain the water as it鈥檚 become murky with hippo poop. Officials plan on sedating the hippo and then lifting him out of the pool with a crane on Friday. He will then be moved to another animal sanctuary since he鈥檚 no longer welcome with his herd. I hope you鈥檙e happy with yourselves, other hippos.
