RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL - One year-old hippopotamus named Lucie sits in a cage as it is transported from the Safari Park in Ramat Gan in Israel to a zoo in Ukraine on November 03, 2009. Israel's top safari says that it has become the world's top exporter of hippopotamuses, having successfully sent more than a dozen of the artiodactyls to zoos worldwide over the past several months. Fourteen hippos have so far been shipped by air or sea to Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine Vietnam at huge costs. (Photo by Jack Guez/AFP/Getty Images)
