Hard landing for unhappy hippo

A Hippo that panicked while being transported by truck in Taiwan on Friday jumped from the vehicle, breaking a leg and damaging its teeth.

TV footage showed the animal lying on the road with a white fluid oozing from its eyes after it jumped through a truck window and landed on a parked car before falling onto the road.

The injured animal, named “A Ho” after the Chinese name for hippo “he ma,” lay on the road for a few hours before being put into a container and taken back to its farm in Taichung.

Authorities said the animal’s owner could face a fine of up to NT$75,000 (US$2,400) for violating animal protection laws.
