Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Hippo?

Albert pauses--but only for a moment. Then he charges straight at you, and you brace yourself for the impact. Unexpectedly, he leaps over you, lands behind you, and grabs your neck. You grab the gator's wrists and begin peeling his arms off you. He quickly scrambles from your grasp.

The scene repeats itself again and again. Albert tries every wrestling hold in the book--half nelson, full nelson, scissors--and each time you simply overpower him and escape. Finally, he tries using his famous tail sweep. As his thick tail slams into your legs, your feet slide a few inches--but you don't fall over. Your center of gravity, it seems, is just low enough to prevent you from being toppled.

Albert is momentarily stunned by the failure of his "secret weapon." Now's your chance! You crash into the gator's belly, wrap your tree-trunk arms around him, and slam him to the floor. You quickly pin Albert's shoulders to the mat. Seconds later, the bell rings.

You've won. You've WON!
