Those pesky humans. Always eating to survive. Fred Flinstone’s fault.
Umm, don’t we still have hippos?

Obviously I meant the planet.I don't know that there are pygmy hippos and this type of pygmy hippo is said to be extinct.

Hippos are noted as being the most dangerous animal on earth. But, if these were “pygmy” hippos, perhaps they were delectible.

Man, I was JUST going to post that picture! LOL That’s the first thing I thought of too! :)

“These were pretty sophisticated people. Certainly if they could figure out how to navigate the Mediterranean, even at a small distance, they knew what they were doing.”
Right. I hold to the theory that they used Cyprus as a breeding farm for pygmy hippos, much in the way that Tyson raises gazillions of chickens.
Then the owners of the factory or even retail customerscould come to the island and pick up their meat requirements either on the hoof or packaged into cuts of meat of their choice.
Certainly the storage of large numbers of bones gives credence to the hippo factory theory.
