Hungry, hungry hippo? But what does this one eat? Credit: Julie Hill
The deadliest animal in Africa has been spotted swimming through Bushy Park’s boating pond.
The hippopotamus, typically native to sub-Saharan Africa, raised a few eyebrows as it appeared to swim through the pond on Sunday, but a Royal Parks spokesman said no one had raised the alarm.
He said: "We are unaware of specifically what it is other than we’ve had no reports of a hippo in the park...it’s probably remote controlled!"
