The Oldest Hippo is no more

I was all along under the impression that the Oldest Hippo is alive&lives at the famous Zoo of SAN DIEGO

in US.

But I was wrong.The oldest living in Ivan's Park Maskar Villa aged 61 is no more.This Hippo had reached the Park -cum -zoo in  on August 7 1956 .She died on 1st August due to age&kidney problem according to the Zoo authorities.

The normal lifespan of a Hippo is 40 years.But this Hippo with nameDONA.

She had her partner but died at the age of 30 years.The people visit this Park mainly to visit the Hippo.

But hereafter they would miss the oportunity to meet her.

The Zoo Management has decided to give her "HIPPO MEMORIAL SERVICE".A tribute to the oldest Hippo
