It is being reported that yesterday an employee at the Denver Zoo was bitten by a hippopotamus. Apparently, the employee was trying to conduct a dental exam and cleaning, when the hippo “got tired” and closed his mouth.
The employee received a small puncture wound and was sent to a local hospital and received stitches. She was very lucky, to say the least.
According to the Zoo, the hippo was trained to keep his mouth open during the exam. His training only started last month.
But, how is this surprising?
I’m all for clean teeth. But, at the same time, this is a hippopotamus. I don’t study wildlife, but I’m certain animals have their own hygiene habits.
The hippo didn’t get tired as the Zoo suggested, he acted like a hippopotamus. I’m sure he found it rather interesting to have someone prodding inside of his mouth. It probably crossed his mind that this lady looked rather delectable.
So he decided to go for a taste.
The Wizard has spoken.
