Rating: 4/5

In the early 20th century, the United States government briefly discussed a plan to import hippopotamuses into Louisiana as an alternative source of meat. The plan was turned down, but… what if it had succeeded? In River of Teeth, Sarah Gailey explores a United States full of feral hippopotamuses in the Mississippi, and the mercenary hippo wranglers hired to get them under control.

I regret nothing; it was worth it for the hats alone.
