Hippo Easter Egg Factory Operating Again!!!

[ProudLib72]

AP News 4/1/19: It's that time of year again when the hippos at Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens begin producing Easter eggs for the upcoming holiday. Hippos were the main producers of Easter eggs at the beginning of the 20th century. Even though plastic eggs have largely replaced the traditional hippo egg, zoo operator Mike Douglas feels the traditional method of egg production should be kept alive. "Children raised in the urban sprawl of Los Angeles just don't have any idea where real Easter eggs come from," says Douglas, who has been the zoo's operator since 1988. Hippos will be producing the eggs until Saturday, April 20th.
