Hippo exhibit I - Parque de Las Leyendas

Former asian elephant exhibit.
@Jxckson
On the right of the picture, slightly below the gates, you can see two square concrete structures. They are two pools (not huge, but both fit more than two hippos comfortably). The fenced structure in the midle, where the apparent cascade used to let it's water fall, was probably another pool.

Mery, the last elephant in Parque de Las Leyendas and in the entire country of Peru died in 1987.
 

I do not know if you can see that, but in my opinion the water space is not adequate for the hippos
