Please spay and neuter your animals! While your newborn animals are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless pets. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

Baby hippos are the most adorable. When you see a whole group/troupe/family of hippos in a fast moving river the babies will go flying backwards till an adult catches them because they are so light and tiny by comparison. It's super cute.

I see this post about once every 2 weeks, and every single time that little hippo's hopeful smile cheers me up....so

SPOILER: Hippos are the land mammals that share a common ancestor most recently with whales, dolphins, and narwhals.

I see this a few times a week on here. Still, it's cute every time so you get an upvote

Will never be able to see a photo of a hippo without hearing "hungry hungry hippos...hungry hungry hippos!"

Soon he will be a ruthless killer. Soon.

Hippos are cute, sure, up until the point where you fall off your jet-ski and into a flock of them. One little Whoopsie Doodle and you go from having a time, to having a similar time but with a hippo taking up permanent residency inside your colon.

hippos are jerks

This was one of the original "BUMP" pictures. It's very, very old.
