Cute As Balls: Christian The Baby Hippo, Basically

The Sydney Zoo just got a new baby pygmy hippo. I think it was actually willed into existence by that little French girl's story. Cute recognize cute.

For the record, Lindsay does not have the market cornered on HAVING A HUMAN HEART.

Unbelievable. You think it's "cute as balls" now, wait about 5 or 6 years down the road when it is a savage, ravenous monster, eating everything in it's path. Hippos: not to be taken lightly. Your children aren't safe. Note: He's only sniffing those humans to memorize their scent when he goes on his killing spree. He'll be back...

I just pictured this hippo dressed up in a a baby-sized princess costume (full disclosure: I am really high on angel dust) and my heart literally exploded. Call 911.

He has TWO separate basins of water of different colors? Is that a necessity or a luxury? One's totally his pre-soak basin.
