When I was in jr. high school I made a stuffed animal hippo out of brown vinyl. It came out great and look JUST like a hippo. I wonder what I ever did with that.
Check out the teeth on this baby.

Harry Hippo
Still working on some photos I took at the zoo, I thought I'd share some of another massive animal, the Hippopotamus. And just so you know, if you didn't already, the plural of hippopotamus is not hippopotami. LOL! Although, that does sound better than hippopotamuses.

I think he needs to have those teeth brushed, but I'm not volunteering! A very nice looking hippo and some great photos of it! I like the last one in the water. He's so "pink" and scrubbed looking.
The cute huge hippo! :)
Outstanding! I can't begin to tell you how much I like these photos (and the ones of the rhino). Everything about them is amazing! I would have to use a tripod to get them to turn out so clear.
Holy cow! I've never noticed those teeth like you can see in the next to last photo! WOW! No wonder they are said to be much more of a danger than many animals in Africa.
With those teeth, it's a good thing hippos are vegetarians and not meat eaters. Great series of zoo shots, I like the pictures you took in the aviary.
Every time I see a hippo I think of that cartoon character hippo with the tu-tu. You're probably too young to remember :-)
Mary - Yeah, those teeth are something else. I wouldn't want to clean them either. :-D
Napaboniya - It is cute it its own way. :-)
PiedmontPerspective - I'm so glad you like them. Thank you!!
Jayne - It was hard not to notice those teeth. I'm surprised it can close its mouth.
JohnTheBerge - Thanks! I'm glad you liked the photos. :-)
June - I'm not too young. I'll never forget when I was in jr. high my sister told me I looked like that in one of my favorite dresses. :-(
Aren't they something! Amazing and huge! Thumbs up!
Cheers, Klaus
Klaus - Thanks Klaus! :-)
