Cryptid Pygmy Hippo Shot in Oz Cryptomundo

Photos accompany the story from Australia about the accidental shooting of an out-of-place pygmy hippopotamus by a hunter who mistook the animal for a very large wild hog. Two news stories describe the event, both noting that the animal, a native of Liberia and Nigeria in Africa, may have escaped five years ago from a wildlife sanctuary located 50 kilometers from the site where it was killed. But what about the other strange animals reportedly seen in the same area over the years? Meanwhile, a Florida news story makes its way to Cryptomundo in Mystery Cryptid Pic From Tampa. Elsewhere, reports of snakes reaching fantastic dimensions in the regions of the Amazonian jungles of South America continue to make the news, as seen in a November 13, 2009, newspaper report from Peru, translated at Bigsnakes.net: Giant Boa Frightens Villagers.
