Hippos At The London Zoo Have Their Own Hot Tub

This might be the world’s largest, and also filthiest, hot tub.  At the London Zoo pigmy hippos lounge in a huge “hot tub”.  That’s what the zoo keeps call it, but it’s nothing that would appeal to us.  It looks like the attendants make no attempt to balance the chemicals in the water to keep algae growth down, and for heaven’s sake, they don’t even have any water jets.  But it’s perfect for these guys and unlike some folks who visit to use our hot tub, these guests wouldn’t be wearing a bathing suit.  Of course, they wouldn’t fit in my tub either.
