Hippos Terrorize Russian Fishermen As They Were Sharing Vodka
<snip>

TWO Russian anglers quietly sharing a vodka as they waited for fish to bite in a Siberian river fled for their lives when two hippos broke the surface and shattered the peace of a summer day, Itar-Tass news agency has reported.

Malvina, the female hippo, and her companion Kenigs had escaped from a zoo at Bolshaya Rechka, about 200km north of Omsk, it said.

The terrified anglers sped to the village, one on foot, the other by bicycle, and alerted zoo keepers, who found the animals quietly grazing in a field.

1. Damn Drunken Hippos
Hippos are notorious when they start with the vodka. They'll show up anywhere. Good thing they didn't hurt anybody this time.
