I like cats because they’re hilarious and easy to care for.
Other animals are either boring (fish, birds, rodents, snakes) or too much work/too expensive (dogs, horses, any fantasy pets mentioned so far).[/quote]
Look, I be a-tellin’ ya that hippos are not boring and not all that much work either. They’re the perfect pet for the right individual that doesn’t mind a tad bit more attention than the average pet owner.[/quote]
Hippos are the third largest animal on land. Only elephants and some rhinos are bigger. An adult male hippopotamus can weigh as much as 3200 kg (7000 lbs), but are usually around 2300 kg (5000 lbs). Adult females only weigh about 1800 kg (4000 lbs).
Even though hippos are so big, they only eat plants. In a single night, a hippo may eat as much as 45.5 kg (100 lbs) of grass.
Hippos are the closest living land mammals to whales and dolphins. Perhaps this is why a hippo can hold it’s breath for about 5 minutes. They spend much of their day in the water or snoozing on the beach.
^^ Yeah, I need about 2 seconds every time I try to remember if the animal I see in the picture is a rhino or a hippo.
I need about 1.5 seconds for lion and tiger too.
Left and right I need about 1.2 seconds. East and west maybe 3 or 4.

A rhino is just a hippo who dreamed of being a unicorn… and it came true. Sort of.

100 lbs of grass per night, do you realize how much Shit that produces?[/quote]
Hmm. I’m thinking “grass fed”. I’ll bet hippo and rhino meat are delicious!

My assumption is that if humans aren’t eating by now it must not be delicious.
