HOMOSASSA SPRINGS — Lu the hippopotamus is celebrating his 50th birthday at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
Park officials have two parties scheduled Tuesday for Lu, one of the oldest hippos in captivity.
When he was younger, the African hippopotamus was a part of the Ivan Tors Animal Actors, which used the Homosassa attraction as its winter home beginning in the late 1960s. Lu and some of the other animals were left at the privately owned park when it was sold.
