The country of Georgia is experiencing some really bad rains that are causing quite a bit of damage. The rains have helped several animals to escape from the zoo in Georgia’s capital of Tbilisi.
In the photo, you can see Georgians try to steer a hippo back towards the zoo.
It all looks very cute but there are 6 lions, 5 tigers, 13 wolves and several more hippos wandering around the city. And the wolves are getting very upset about the situation.
Yikes. Hippos are really dangerous animals, their human death toll is huge, number one animal killers of humans in Africa. I’d be terrified if I were in that photo.

There have already been 9 victims, unfortunately. And several people more wounded. 😦

In that photo, the animal is already drowsy from a tranquilizer dart that’s stuck in its skin just below its left ear (not visible in the picture). It was shot from a distance before anybody dared get close.
I’d still be awfully leery of getting that close to it.
