Police are currently searching for those responsible for entering Gustavito’s enclosure and beating him with blunt and sharp objects, CNN reported. 

Zoo officials noticed on Thursday that Gustavito was acting strangely and would not come out of the water in his enclosure or eat.

Zoo director Vladan Henriquez said officials found bruises, puncture wounds, and lacerations on the hippo’s entire body.

Something seems strange here.

Hippos are perhaps the most dangerous animal in Africa, known for their aggressiveness. An average male weighs 3,300 pounds, and a hippo's skin is two inches thick...

Not sure why there aren't dead or injured suspects if they entered his enclosure and attacked him.

Maybe they attached some sharp object to a pole? Or perhaps he was somehow restrained or simply just too docile to react (last seems unlikely to me).

It shows here some kind of water pool, maybe he was stuck in this area?

Henriquez said at a news conference that Gustavito sustained injuries to his feet and cheek while he was likely trying to defend himself. He said the wounds might have been from an ice pick.

"There were injuries inside his mouth," Henríquez said.

Hippos raised within captivity would naturally be more docile. But rumors are circulating that the zoo is covering something up. It would be very heartbreaking if that innocent animal was killed by one of his own handlers. :ohno:

Why would someone beat a captive animal :saladga:

It was in its own enclosure minding its own business... what harm did it do to those who killed it :saladga:

This is beyond condemnation. Whoever did this, whether unknown outsiders or zoo personnel, :fthis: you.

@Goosey & @Princess Die I agree - something fishy seems to be going on here.
