doctor negative, thank you for sharing this! A hippo in the house!? This is so cute and bizarre. What a neat family.

I never knew hippos kill more humans in Africa than any other animal.

I doubt it's personal :)

I believe they are also one of the few natural enemies of the crocodile, whom they bite in half. (thank you Public Broadcasting for that little tidbit of info)

She is terribly cute though, wrapped up in her blanket with the dog.

How do hippos kill people? Trampling them? Biting them?

Anyway, this is cute.
