Well - it wasn't into Leisure World (L.W. is adjacent though - my dad works there!) - Bong is right... In 1978, "Bubbles" the hippo escaped over the side of the hill, crossed the 133 (Laguna Canyon Road) and took up residence in a rain-filled pond. For several days, the police tried to get her to come out. Finally they tranquilized her, overdid it & she drowned. My mom took my brother & I by there one of those rainy nights - I morbidly stared out the car trying to get a glimpse of the rogue hippo, to no avail... This and many, many other horrible stories are to be found in the checkered past of Lion Country..... [ Edited by: Tangaroa on 2005-03-19 21:02 ] |
