Are these hippos at the winter quarters in Dick Garden’s Myaaka City winter quarters?

They are likely the two involved in this incident - - -

July, 1988. Florida
Two hippopotami escaped Richard J. Garden's ranch in Florida, causing an accident when they wandered into the path of an oncoming car. The hippos, along with an elephant, were confiscated by the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission. Garden, who owned Garden's Wonder Zoo, was later charged with violations of the Animal Welfare Act, and his license to keep exotic animals was suspended. Columbus Dispatch, September 4, 1988.

Hey guys, let's leave out the blood and gore and just enjoy the photos. There are some things that are better left unsaid.
