The hippo fell down from a truck in transit and broke a tooth on Friday. Milk like white liquid began falling from its eyes as it helplessly sat in the middle of the road. What's worse, when it was sent to a pond for treatment the next day, the iron chain tied around it to support the animal during the transportation broke down, throwing the hippo to the ground from two meters. The pain again made the animal cry.

An animal expert said hippos have tear glands and the white liquid was probably the tears brought by severe pain.
