September 8, 2006: Hippo mom and baby

xoB and the WaPo day in pics get us this lovely hippo and her baby, swimming at a zoo in India.



Friday IotD bonus: no info on this happy pair, I just figured I would throw them in. Happy Friday.

Mini-Me!

The one on the left has been playin' with frogs. He has warts on his ass.

Acouple of appetizers and a couple of entres. Yum, yum.

Look at those punims! Only a mother could love!

Sort of blurs the line between cute and ugly, donit? :weird:

Man, ain't nothin' cute about hippos. They are among the most dangerous animals in the world. Not to mention among the most disgusting.

I can almost hear the mom saying...

"Yeah... we're ugh-ly... and ya'lls point would be?"

Acroyear

4 posts to dinner with appetizers,

Is that a record ??

My favorite line: ...and bit off his head and shoulders...

Well, that about wraps up the safari then, doesn't it?

No kidding... I've seen how hippos mark their territory. Talk about crap hitting the fan... :turd:

Does confuse you as to whether or not you should think they're cute or ugly....but who could deny those gorgeous baby hippo eyes? :eek:

Not at all. I was thinking the frogs are cute even though everything about their appearance is wrong.... alien.... to all the warm and fuzzy critters commonly agreed to be cute.

Oh, and welcome to the Cellar, BlacKat1980. :D

Here is a whole lotta hippo cute:

Not much warning with that stuff!!! Thanks for you welcome Bruce.:)

At the San Diego Zoo, they have warning signs...

They should provide plastic 'shields' like they do at the Gallager shows.
