I wonder if this could be hippo Zusha that some Russians had on RBBB Red in 1997-98? She was shown all over the world, and I think she wound up in India. There was a circus hippo over there which was the focus of some animal cruelty charges.

RJR,
That is possible. I hadn't thought of Zusha. That was such an odd deal, and she didn't stay long. I always thought she was one of those deals that was "thrown in". Take these act's and we will give you the hippo, and teach someone to work it. When the Iron Curtain fell, I think there were a lot of animals/animal acts, that were dumped in that boat, and there were a number of "instant" animal trainers that came out of the IC counties. Another "dark" part of circus animal training history, that folks shy away from.
