Hippos find new home behind shopping mall

A pair of hippos often seen wandering around Meerensee has been joined by a third, a juvenile.

They seem to have found a home for themselves in the Black Bass Dam behind Marlin Mall, and while they are exciting to see, a number of youths have been seen throwing objects and taunting them.

These creatures are extremely dangerous, especially when grazing on land at night.

They are also not easily seen on the roads, so residents should take care.

Maybe the heavyweights are trying to find the home of Josh ‘Red Beast’ Pretorius, which is in the general area, to lay down a challenge?
