A hippo weighing more than two tons wallows in a nearby river after escaping from Shantou Zoo in South China's Guangdong province on Sept 23, 2013. Typhoon Usagi caused severe flooding in the old part of the city, and the hippo took advantage of the rising water to break through the fence and swim to a river outside the zoo. [Photo/CFP] |
