The hippo's name is Lucy and she is 52 years old. I think that she was part of the park before it became what it is today. Only indigenous wildlife was allowed to stay so they made Lucy an official Florida resident. Lucy gets fed twice a day (I think) and comes up out of the water to eat. If you see her tail spinning stand back because that's a sign she's gonna poop. There's a sign to warn people. I've seen it and it's something else when she lets loose.
