HOMOSASSA SPRINGS, FL - - If you weighed 6,000 lbs. and were 49 years old like Lu The Hippo you wouldn't move too fast either. Lu was born on January 26, 1960 at the San Diego Zoo and has been a fixture in Homosassa since 1964 when the facility was more of an amusement-style park. In 1989 the park service bought the property, changed the name to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and began to focus exclusively on wildlife. I wonder what 49 'human time frame years' equals in 'hippo years.'
