A hippopotamus in Alkmaar, South Africa, was desperate for a dip to escape the heat, and climbed over ten foot walls to bathe in a water tower! Once in, he couldn't get out on his own. A farm worker spotted him -or rather, spotted two big nostrils poking out of the water.
生活在南非 阿爾克馬爾的一只河馬為了避暑,不顧一切地爬過了十英尺高的圍墻,跑到了水塔里泡澡。可進去容易,想要出來可就由不得它了。一個農場工人發現了它,額,倒不如說是它冒出水面的兩個大鼻孔。準備好了液力起重機和籠子,來自馬普馬蘭格(Mpumalanga)旅游公園協會的河馬獵人克里斯 郝比克瑞斯(Chris Hobkrik)和他的團隊開始了營救行動。花了整整四個小時,他們終于抽干了池子里的水,然后用桿子輕輕地推著河馬,讓它走進那個三米長的鐵籠子,并最終把它安全送回。
