"But that's what hippos do."

Well, if you knew that then did it occur to you to keep the animals separated?

"It is not known if the same hippo killed the Capybara last week because no one witnessed the animal's death, the zoo's veterinarian Dr. Gus Mueller said."

No one but the Capybara, but now it sleeps with the fishes.

I don’t understand this ... separate the animals ... even if based on suspicion.

Hippo’s kill more people in Africa than any other animal. I’d be reluctant to put any smaller animal in with them.

Even a friendly nip from a hippo can be bad news. They never play nice.

the seventh death at the zoo since January.

Who's running this place, Inspector Clouseau?

My suggestion would be to replace the Capybara with a Chupacabra. THAT would straighten out the Hippo.

One would wonder why you would have an animal from South America in an enclosure with an animal from Africa, anyway.

"....an adult giraffe died after sustaining a neck injury at the zoo..."

Pesky monkeys next door must've been tossing their banana peels into the giraffe lot again.....

I think that it's not what they're saying... I think that with all the suspicious deaths at the zoo, there's a Chupacabra there. That's right, the Chupacabra bit the Cappyberra!
