Speaking of classic Safari stuff, it seems that feral Hippos are now a problem in Colombia. Someone had better call the guy from the Safari Boat ride at Disneyland to go down there, it's the only way to be sure.

(On a Side Note, if they make controlling this problem a serious priority, maybe some Safari enthusiasts may no longer have to go to Africa - With the Hippos an invasive species, one could hardly fault a push to round them up.)

P.S., if you know someone who wants a Hippopotamus for Christmas next year, here's place that you can find one

Hopes to sterilize the animals proved too costly and attempts to find zoos to take the creatures in have also failed to find success.

So, for now, the hippos continue to have free reign and are poised to take over unless something can be done to stop them.

Boy sounds like a tough problem there?I say let one of us organize the hunts and we give Columbia 50% of the proceeds sound fair :dunno: We have our own problem in the Glades.

Thks for the link David always found his stuff interesting.

Pull them out of Columbia and turn them loose in Central Park.

That's even better
