BELOVED HIPPO DIES AFTER ATTACK AT EL SALVADOR ZOO

A beloved hippopotamus named Gustavito died Sunday at El Salvador’s National Zoo from injuries sustained in a violent attack last week.

Police are currently searching for those responsible for entering Gustavito’s enclosure and beating him with blunt and sharp objects, CNN reported.

Zoo officials noticed on Thursday that Gustavito was acting strangely and would not come out of the water in his enclosure or eat.

Zoo director Vladan Henriquez said officials found bruises, puncture wounds, and lacerations on the hippo’s body.
