Hey Joe!

Watch This.

Then tell me whether you think the guy in the photo is still alive.

Poor kitty! I hope he made it but think he probably didn’t. Hippos are ferocious beasts.

This happens all the time where I live in Austin. Somehow the local hippo crowd is stealing credit cards or something because they can always afford the registration fee to put at least one hippo into each marathon.

Hippos are the Number One killer in Africa.

Especially the vicious “Pit Hippo.”

Heh, get outta here. There’s no turtle that big and if there is, I’m hiding! LOL!

Wait, is that a pygmy hippo?

Now you're pulling my leg. Pit Hippo was one of those funky 80s head banger bands where the kids set up mosh pits. Geeeeeee.

Nope. I said "Pit Hippo" and that's what I meant!

I could be wrong, but I beleive in this case it is a Rhino (Not John McCain, or Romney) running this race.

Joe, did that guy escape the hippo? I was looking for the news story and couldn’t find it.

The babies are cute! With razor sharp teeth in adult hippos, I wonder if they ever bite their own tongues or have periodontal disease.

Well, it too a long time and a lot of patience to get them to breed, but the result was more than worth the effort.

The one in the photo is mine. His name is Oscar.

The females in the litter all died, so we have to wait a while to get him a mate. But once we do - We’ll be introducing them into all the Petco and Petsmart stores for personal protection.

We’ve also got commitments from several law enforcement agencies.

They aren’t real cuddly, but they command respect.
