Este término aparece en varias ocasiones en un documental sobre hipopótamos haciendo referencia a dichos animales. El documental tiene un tono bastante peculiar y habla de la manada de hipopótamos equiparándola a una banda de gángsters.
Mi pregunta es si en este caso, se refiere a bull en el sentido de macho.
Algunas frases:
On the run from a fight upstream, this *bull* is still testosterone-charged.
As soon as the boss has shown the way, the rest of the hippos set up off the beach... the *bulls* in a strict pecking order according to size.
Muchas gcs!
