Awwww! Why would anyone needs hippos when we have you around? (Carpal tunnel - still laughing about that one!)
After awhile, it grew on me and I thought it was cute. Now I want a baby hippo to go along with my imaginary collection of animals.
@Erika_Steele - We need a baby animal zoo, when they grow up we can ship them off to other zoos.

The Little Baddies of the Animal Kingdom.
Interesting -- looking at the first photo, I thought it reminded me of alligators or crocodiles -- interesting that it's related to cetaceans!
I think manatees are closer to cetaceans than hippos because they lost their feet and have a large fin.
More people die from hippos than any other animal in Africa.
Fun Facts:
Hippos secrete a natural sunscreen that is colored red and eventually turns brown
The hippo's closest living relative is the whale
Hippos can kill crocodiles

I would get one of these if it stayed this size forever. Why I like Potbellied pigs. One of these days I will get one.
This proves all babies are cute. It is just when they get older that they lose that cute-ness thing.
Hippos have always been on my top ten list of favorite animals. You barely miss the top ten at number 11.
@amateurprose - You haven't seen me lately. Hippos and I are practically indistinguishable.

Good Post! Good thing about security cameras also is that, it can scare burglars and other unwanted intruders. Indeed, Surveillance camera are commonly used at home and at work.
