Accompanied by video of a surprisingly placid and content-looking hippo,
considering that water can't be at anything remotely like African temperatures.

I think that a hippo is pretty well insulated, so it is not clear to me
that Nikica would be that uncomfortable. Extinct species of Hippos
lived far north as Britain.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamus#Extinct_species
Do northern zoos let their hippos go outside in the winter?

The expertise of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
<http://www.niaid.nih.gov/> is largely summarized by its name. Those
wishing information on hippopotamus species, both extant and extinct, are
advised to contact their favorite Zoo or Museum of Natural History.
