June 22, 2007: Hippo as pet?!
We've heard these ugly beasts are amongst the meanest in the animal kingdom, but there's one in South Africa that's taken to being a member of the family. According to the full story, this beast named Jessica was hand-raised by her owner after washing up on the lawn. It was lucky she washed up on the lawn of a game ranger. She seems to get along well with the family dogs. In fact she helped to groom the puppies: |

According to the article she seems so sweet! There are problems arising like her weight and loving to plop on the bed...the male hippos showing up and her love for a good cup a joe.
I hope they are calling some good zoos where she can be loved and protected! |

Shame she didn't wash up on a dentist's lawn.

A wonderful opportunity to bring together two things from different parts of the world: the hippo from Africa, and the hungi from New Zealand.
