Nov 19, 2010: Hip Hippo Hooray
Hippopotami are said to be the most dangerous critter in Africa, and kill more people than any other. Big and dangerous, plus they hang out at the water where every animal, including people, have to come eventually.
But there seems to be a traitor in their midst, caught on camera helping a baby Gnu ford the river. Quote:
And they all lived happily ever after... fat chance, when you and your stew pot are lurking over the next rise. link

Aw! Thanks, bruce, for a heart-warming Friday IotD. Tho she's red in tooth and claw, Nature can also be honey sweet. Now. Let the cynical recipes begin!

It's not rescueing them. It's storing them up for Winter.

I guess this isn't the crossing they always show on nature programs, where the crocs ambush the swimmers.

Baby zebra probably isn't much different than horse.
Therefore I suggest a cassoulet. |

Crocs get their asses kicked repeatedly by Hippos.
Momma Hippo tried to save it, but it died anyway. Since she already tenderized it for you... I suggest a nice Merlot.

I think it's more of a 'get out of my lawn/pond!' sort of thing. Cranky old hippo.

I hadn't thought of that, you might be right. Investigate anything that doesn't move right through like the rest of the herd, and if it's nonthreatening, just help it out of the water.
But don't tell Brianna.
