I just read about this. I hope it'll be okay swimming in the sewage infested mess that is the Thames!

Think of it as a fish in a river. Doesn't sound quite so remarkable now does it?

He by-passed parliament without a look in. :o I don't blame him. ;) ;D

Probably not quite right upstairs or something and is lost. I think sadly he'll end up beaching himself and be put down.

I hope the animal experts get him back though.

Except of course it is a mammal....... and belongs to the family of the largest mammals on Earth and it is considerably more interesting than Mr. Prescott (and probably lighter)
