Original Title: TIL in 2010 a two-tonne hippo escaped from a Montenegro zoo during a flood. After wandering around nearby farms for 10 days, she returned to her pen on her own accord. Her keepers had been keeping a close eye on her, giving her food when she came close to the zoo & covering her with hay at night.
