Default One hippo, two red wolves, three turtles, four manatees, five Germans, six snakes..

..and 10 to 11 alligators.

That is what you might see at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. The hippo is 49 years old, 6000 lbs and is named Lu. Lu has been in several TV shows and movies according to the park ranger who does a daily spiel on Lu.

Just watch out for Lu when his tail starts moving. http://www.denverzoo.org/animals/hippopotamus.asp

It is only an hour, if that, drive from TV and is well worth the time, gas, and entrance fees to the wild life park. http://hswsp.com/main.html
