My new pet

The hippo is considered by many experts, explorers and Africans to be the most dangerous animal in Africa (not counting the mosquito). They've all killed way more people than lions have.  The hippo is extremely aggressive, unpredictable and unafraid of humans, upsetting boats sometimes without provocation and chomping the occupants with its huge canine teeth and sharp incisors.
But, for now, enjoy this cute little thing to the left. Don't think about how it's going to get big and chomp on you until you die.
