Last year was an auction at Sotheby's (Paris).
For over EUR 6 Mio somebody bought the Hippopotame Bar.
That's totally crazy and cause just watch the next episode of Moon Knight:
That fits!
Plus, Berlin's inhabitants always had a special hippo-bond.
Unforgotten Mr. Knautschke -real hippo- whom they saved after WWII.
The whole Zoo was bombed away, there was a small hippo-child, sitting in an empty pool, crying beside his dead mother. Then the Berliner came, brought him everything though didn't have anything themselves…water, salad, food.
Mr. Knautschke grew up to a strong hippo-man.
He fathered many children, became very old until one of his sons killed him.
He still has his own Wikipedia-entry and a monument at Berlin's Zoo.

Good Morning, Sunshine!
Knautschen means to Crumple
