5. DOLLY

Age: 62

Location: Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden

The Details: Dolly outlived her life expectancy by two decades, shocking staff. Speaking of zookeepers, the hippo lived at the zoo longer than any staff member had worked there. Dolly was pretty much in charge of the park.

Number 5 isn't Dolly, it's supposed to be Donna the Hippo. She passed away about 2 months ago after living in Mesker Park Zoo since the late 50's.
