A VIDEO has gone viral on social media of police dealing with a life-sized hippo sculpture in Rhyl.
The video, shared on both TikTok and Twitter shows the hippo sculpture on Water Street in the town centre being moved out of the road by officers from North Wales Police.
The sculpture is one of 12 life-sized animal figures that went on display in Rhyl as part of family-themed trail last summer.

The trail, set up by Rhyl BID, was designed for residents and tourists alike and has been launched to help attract additional visitors to the town this Summer.
The hippo, which was originally stationed outside the visitor information centre was moved hundred or so yards to Water Street where it was dealt with by police.
It is not known when it was moved or where it has gone since, but the video has amassed more than 1.1million views on social media platforms.
North Wales Police were approached for a comment.
