Hippopotamus of company for a Californian friend of animals 
[2002-05-26 09:06 ] SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - a Pygmy hippopotamus of 225 kilos was 
during at least ten years the pet to an inhabitant of the area of San Diego, in 
California. The female hippopotamus, old from 12 to 15 years, lived surrounded 
by a hundred of other animals - in particular by peacocks, geese, goats and 
ducks - in the garden of Arthur Stehly, according to San Diego Union-
Tribune. "I did not believe it when I saw it," declared Zeke Awbrey, person in 
charge for the wild animals for California. "Nobody expects to find a giant 
hippopotamus in the garden of a resident." The newspaper specified that the 
authorities had launched an investigation for Zeke Stehly would not have been 
in possession of a licence authorizing him to hold a hippopotamus. The animal 
was seized at the end of January thanks to the indications of an estate agent 
who had discovered it while making visit a nearby house.
