tiny tiny hippo

OMG. This little Hipster is slippy-slidin' all over the place, you can totally see it. He even has 'chub." I think he has some umbilical cord action going on too. Rock on, little muddy earflaps.

Rock

on.

I have never seen a baby hippo before!: DP; | Jan 05, 2007 at 11:52 AM

He looks a lot like a baby water buffalo: Hung; | Jan 05, 2007 at 11:56 AM

I'm very glad that the second picture contains an umbilical cord. I choose to believe that. So cute.: Emily Anonymous; | Jan 05, 2007 at 11:57 AM

He's also rocking Rule #21 -- eye capsules!!!: Fuzzball; | Jan 05, 2007 at 11:57 AM

Even though he's slimey, he's cute.: littlelizard; | Jan 05, 2007 at 11:57 AM

I've got chub, too--does that make me cute? This bebeh weighs less than I do, I'm sure, and that's just a depressing thought (even if it is a bebeh and will outweigh me many times over in a matter of months).: ShelleyTambo; | Jan 05, 2007 at 11:58 AM

Um, I don't think that's really an umbilical cord! But let's believe it is, anyway. Pretty darn cute for a future leviathan.: chacha; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:01 PM

Oh, the wrinkly neck! The eye capsules! The pink spots! I can't take it.: zeldapie; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:03 PM

Chacha, I think that *is* an umbilical cord because the penis would be farther back in between the legs... nature shields the "sensitive bits" better. Besides, penises are really vascular and they almost always appear pink(er). I doubt it would look so grey and have a chewed off end.: punkpie; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:07 PM

love the lovely hippo!!! have any of you heard of owen and mzee? stranded tsunmai hippo who befriended the tortoise? go here: http://www.lafargeecosystems.com/main/blog.php: alcarwen; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:10 PM

its pygmy so the mommy there is much bigger than a collie. and babeh should be about 9 inches long I'd guess.: Lula; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:10 PM

Upon closer examination I have come to this conclusions. In the first pic he's all "I'm cold and wet and slimy, and it isn't fun" In the second pic he's saying "I'm getting out of this water, it's nasty" And in the third pic he's like "Mom, don't you know it's icky in here?": Emily Anonymous; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:11 PM

This isn't one of the late Pablo Escobar's still-growing hippo herd, is it? (grin) http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06358/748352-82.stm: Karen in Toronto; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:15 PM

hippos are one of my fav bebehs! has anyone ever seen the house hippo commercial? http://www.cca-kids.ca/kids/special/index.html I so with they were real!: Meatcup; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:15 PM

punkpie: Thanks for the information. Really. No, really (grins).: Karen in Toronto; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:17 PM

ohmygod!! the tinyness is KILLING me!!: geekbride; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:21 PM

Aw, he's too cute!: Sneezy; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:22 PM

Wait, forget the cord vs pee-pee debate, is he pooing in that second pic??: lezlee; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:25 PM

Holy crap! Can you imagine giving birth to a hippopotomus?? Pandas come out pretty small, and lady pandas get front page coverage for their efforts. This gal should get a Nobel prize! Cute lil fella. <3: greenighs; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:32 PM

Luvs the tineh hippo-po. Makes you wanna say, can't we all just get along? If we can all love and get excited about the mini mud-horse in all his chubsness, can't we be nice to each other too? I'm imagining all the babeh aminals singing "We are the world..." in little chipmunk voices...: ebee; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:37 PM

Ummmmmmm.... no, sorry! That's his lil' bebe hippo... PEENIE WEINIE! So - darn - adorable!: red_kira; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:38 PM

too bad hippos can KILL you!: ali; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:39 PM

In response to ebee, we are incapable of being nice to each other because not everyone looks like an adorable baby animal. We also see others as threats which this little guy clearly isn't...Acutally he is kind of a threat, one to my mental capabilities because my brain might cease to function with all this cuteness.: Emily Anonymous; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:41 PM

Geez i'ts like in every single picture you have people telling you how vicious that animal is... Oh cute koala, but no, it will CLAW YOUR EYES OUT. Oh what an adorable tiger cub, but...they will BITE YOUR ARM OFF. *Sighs* Lets just enjoy the cute, as deadly as it may be?? Baby hippo looks so wobbly hehe, it's like he's going to fall on his side any moment!: Mika; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:47 PM

I've just recently been to Tanzania, where we'd spend hours watching hippos happily wallowing and playing (yep, they can get pretty playful) in their muddy ponds. We didn't see any really little babies, but we did see some getting made ;): deskprimate; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:47 PM

I wanted a hippopotamus for Christmas, and didn't get one. I'll take these though!! So cute! Not just teeny, but pygmy teeny!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Want_a_Hippopotamus_for_Christmas: Renee; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:49 PM

Any possibility that is a trick of the light? Looks to me like it could be a pink hippo dingaling, and the rest is a leaf on the ground in the background that LOOKS like it is attached. Maybe? Possible?: Char; | Jan 05, 2007 at 12:52 PM

If this sweet teeny wobbly hippster isn't proof that the world IS good, nothin' is -- and yes, let's work to get along and clean up the world for HIM, if not for anything else.... I am lovingk thees bebeh. (And he's not even a cat): Temple Cats' Slave in WI; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:02 PM

hey Renee, do you have a two car garage? Cause you have to have one to get a hippopotamus for christmas...gotta have somewhere to give him his massage...LOL!: daisycat; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:03 PM

OMG! That smile in the last one!!!: La Lola; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:06 PM

Love the swing of the ears in the first pic. Like he's hitchhiking!: A Fine Morsel; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:13 PM

I love the loving nudge the mom's giving him in pic 2.: karyn; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:14 PM

lezlee - Where'd you go, oh there y'ar way up there. I don't know if 'Potsie is poopin' in pic #2, but pic #1 looks like, "Mum, Mum, I gotta pee." and Mum said, "Just go in the water.": pyrit; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:14 PM

Why is everyone so obsessed with that being a penis? Why can't it just be an umbelical cord?: AliceTanzer; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:17 PM

I'm pretty sure it is the cord. Otherwise, baby hippos are incredibly well endowed. (comparing body to alleged pee pee ratio). Regardless, he is TOTALLY prosh and I love his mom, who's all "Uhm, I just gave BIRTH to you, what more do you want?": jenn; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:20 PM

Reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas songs - I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy I want a hippopotamus for Christmas I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you? He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes to see a hippo hero standing there I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs Oh what joy and what surprise when I open up my eyes to see a hippo hero standing there I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses I only like hippopotamuseses And hippopotamuses like me too!: paula; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:25 PM

I think Char might have something. It could just be a leaf on the ground that's sticking up and LOOKS like it's attached.: blackcatgirl; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:26 PM

It's nice to think that maybe these two played 'Hungry Hungry Hippo' together.: Aubrey; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:29 PM

Reminds me of two things: 1. "It's not a tumor!" Arnold Schwarzenegger in Kindergarten Cop. 2. "Mud! Mud! Glorious mud! Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood! So follow me follow Down to the hollow And there we will wallow In glorious mud!": pyrit; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:32 PM

http://spamusement.com/index.php/comics/view/284 (well it's a LITTLE relevant, anyway): Theo; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:37 PM

I love the baby!!! Hippos are so cute - I love it when they wiggle their earses.: michellemybelle; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:38 PM

HIPPER!: anne; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:41 PM

So, I agree that the bit in front of his hind legs is the cord, but the bit behind his hind legs and right in front of Mom's nose could be baby's first doodie. In fact, I have a very similar photo of my own cat as a tiny kitten producing a lovely specimen on my bedroom rug in the very same pose as our little friend here (don't ask how, it was just a "lucky" shot). Both photos are still cute, whatever it may be!: lezlee; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:42 PM

I don't think that's a cord, I think it's his (cough) wee-wee.: Susan; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:42 PM

What is it about this site? I actually went off and Googled "hippopotamus anatomy" to try and find a definitive answer to the "cord or ?" question. (BTW, this guy's ears are too, too much!): E. Collison; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:44 PM

For more hippo hilarity: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/kids/creature_feature/0009/hippos.html: musicchick2; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:47 PM

Regarding all anatomical questions, I think we should consult Hippo-crates.: Aubrey; | Jan 05, 2007 at 01:51 PM

I was just sittin here, feelin all sorry for myself, 'cause I got a stupid head cold and I feel clogged up. Then I clicked over here and there was a baby hippo and I felt all better and kind of fuzzy, although that might be the drugs I'm taking. But the hippoooooooooo, he is so tiny and trembly and his little neck is so pink and clean.: Redzilla; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:00 PM

E. Collison - Yes, what is it about this site? I Googled Baby Hippopotamus umbilical cord. Glagh.: pyrit; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:04 PM

lol Aubrey. Damn. Redzilla, ME TOO! Ive been home for three days. *dies* But this image is to die for, and again, you little over-thinkers. WHO CARES. You shouldn't. And if you do, you got way too much time on yo hands fo sho. Fo shizzle.: Kate; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:07 PM

kate and ReZ, same here, which means that I *needed* the QTE fix like mad. (And chocolate, too.): E. Collison; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:08 PM

Please omit all pictures of umbilical cord and peen-like structures from future cute pictures. PLEASE.: Shaan; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:38 PM

So what has 'Potsie gotsie? Is it umbilical or penicle? Call me an "overthinker" I'm only having fun It could be a dill pickle Or maybe Aubrey has a pun.: pyrit; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:38 PM

That is MOST DEFINATELY an umbilical cord. Looks just like a human baby's umbilical cord. AND I bet that the bit on the ground is the umbililcal cord as well. Mom just didn't chew it off as close to the belly button as we humans cut off our newborn's umbilicals. The umbilical cord on a human baby is very long too (prior to cutting of course).: ScribblerRN; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:39 PM

Okay folks! I consulted with my large-animal vet hubby. He's worked with many a hippo, including many bebehs. Umbilical cord? Yes. Absolutely. No question. Pee Pee? No. (In fact it was a rather emphatic NO, with a look like I might be crazy.) Poop? No. He thought what you all were referring to was actually part of his back leg. The little splash might have indicated a poo, but he didn't see one in the photo. Hope that helps. Also, love the little skin turtleneck bebeh's wearing. So cute to be so fashion forward so young. Sandy: Sandy; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:43 PM

Awwwww! Poor mama hippo looks EXHAUSTED! 'Course, if I had to squeeze something THAT BIG outta me, I'd be pretty tuckered out too. Lord knows I was pretty pooped after birthing BabyBookworm, and he was only 7 lbs!: Bookworm; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:45 PM

paula! I just got back from Christmas with my siblings (we're all in our 40s) and as we do every year, sang that song with our kids at top volume. Couldn't help myself - I sat here and sang through the whole thing again. Knowing my luck, that silly tune will haunt me the rest of the day, but thanks anyway for the smile.: HelenWheels; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:45 PM

umbilical. hippo pee-pee. what-evs! this is the farging cutest thing I've seen in, well, days I guess (lol). damn. you did it again, CO. How? How DO you do it. After a 5 hour meeting at work talking about budgets (i know... zzzz), this was exactly what the doctor ordered! tank-ewe!!: jenni joon; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:52 PM

This peni-ano has certainly struck a cord. Sorry. Lunch is over. I'm still hungry. I have to get back to work.: Aubrey; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:54 PM

"You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic land mass." (not directed at Aubrey... spot the quote?): Theo; | Jan 05, 2007 at 02:57 PM

I love Princess Bride!: blackcatgirl; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:09 PM

Oh JEEBUS that's killer cute!!!: Beauregard; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:27 PM

I just have to agree that momma hippo looks tiiii-red!! :) L'il bebeh (who's not necessarily even a "he") is adorable!!! Hippos are one of my favorite animals because I had a really big stuffed blue hippo that my mom made for me when I was a baby. More hippos!!: mm; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:28 PM

Aubrey - "Here's mud in yer eye.": pyrit; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:29 PM

i know it is only my opinion, I don't mean to start a riot, but in my view although somewhat intriguing, maybe even cute-esque...i don't know the whole slimy thing and something about his mug in general...i don't know it disturbs me. it maybe makes me smirk a little but ... no i don't think it's quite cute. it could, paradoxically, appear cute if it were on ugly overload. what can I say, it's friday and I'm making no sense. at any rate I am glad everyone else likes it (when they aren't debating anatomy, and thank you Sandy for the official statement!). of course i have never believed in the eye capsules rule, so that may be the hitch. chub, on the other hand, i endorse wholeheartedly.: fifi; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:32 PM

i have a new analysis. he is like a cutie wearing an ugly suit. the essence of cute...but cloaked in ugly. think of a pretty boy dressed in a horrendously bad outfit and you'll see what I mean.: fifi; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:34 PM

Humph, pyrit... (mudders something under her breath): Aubrey; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:38 PM

He's a cute little booger. Probably about as slimey as one, too.: redbone; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:42 PM

Oh, Redz is maybe being a hippochondriac and Aubrey apparently is in a hipponotized muddle.: pyrit; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:52 PM

its sooooooooo cute i want 1: ballet_chick; | Jan 05, 2007 at 03:57 PM

Gah! Too much hippo talk! It's becoming a hippo-drone!: Aubrey; | Jan 05, 2007 at 04:01 PM

I like the pic in the middle where Mom is giving him a boost onto dry land.: Meaghan; | Jan 05, 2007 at 04:13 PM

oooh how cute =): Ormenipar; | Jan 05, 2007 at 04:15 PM

Butt dimple!: Quinn; | Jan 05, 2007 at 04:29 PM

He's all rubbery and unsure, can barely walk--his li'l ears are the same size as mom's nostril! Tired mom, but lookin' proud.: jaypo; | Jan 05, 2007 at 04:50 PM

That is one proud mama you wait 18 months to see you kid I'd be really happy too, cute, cute and triple cute: leah; | Jan 05, 2007 at 05:26 PM

wow, he has pink cheeks!: Julie; | Jan 05, 2007 at 05:37 PM

Looks like that "Ordeal" totally wore out "Mom"... The little critter is cute... hehe: Keith L. Dick; | Jan 05, 2007 at 08:26 PM

Wow guys, this made Fark.com!!! Everyone lurvs baby animals!!!: Dez; | Jan 05, 2007 at 08:32 PM

Shouldn't there be a section just for newborns? This is simply the most precious baby I've ever seen!: sadie_asher; | Jan 05, 2007 at 08:32 PM

Being a dude, I generally attempt to avoid going "SQUEEEE!" But the baby hippo did make me clap my hand over my mouth and make a noise like a vaccuum cleaner that has just tried to inhale a whole sheet of newspaper.: TeratoMarty; | Jan 05, 2007 at 08:50 PM

1. Princess Bride is on this very moment (well, it's almost over, but still) 2. Yay for making FARK! 3. This posting caused me to introduce a coworker to CO, as I had to share the adorableness of the babeh with him - new peeps!: michellemybelle; | Jan 05, 2007 at 08:57 PM

I want a hippopotmus for Christmas.....Only a hippopotamous will do.....don't want a dol...no dinky tinker toy.....i want a hippopotamous to play with and adore: Roberta; | Jan 06, 2007 at 04:20 PM

Well, I hate to break the news, people, but that is undeniably a hippo "wee-wee." I live on a very unusual farm, and I have been the mid-wife to a variety of very unusual animals. Yes, that is where his "thing" would be; it is not too far up on his tummy. If it was an umbilical cord, it would not have the protruding belly flesh near the top, it would be much thinner, shorter, and shrivled up by this point. On the other topic, I can't tell what exactly the thing in the back is, but I think it is simply a very cute baby pygmy hipo tail. Oh, and SO CUTE IS THE BABY PYGMY HIPO.: Bec; | Jan 07, 2007 at 12:34 AM

For anyone who wants to translate Nathaly Araujo's site into English, try this: http://world.altavista.com/babelfish/tr: musicchick2; | Jan 07, 2007 at 12:35 AM

*Hippo: Bec; | Jan 07, 2007 at 12:38 AM

I want a hippo too! The mom is so dead tired and the babe so frisky. This really made me "Awwwww".: miu; | Jan 07, 2007 at 08:54 AM

Look at how tired the mommy is!!: Laurel; | Jan 08, 2007 at 10:04 AM

This hippo is so cute it makes me nervous. I bet he gives nice hugs.: nora; | Jan 10, 2007 at 09:41 AM

for pygmy hippo enthusiasts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_hippo I for one am very disappointed now that I've read this -- I saw a pygmy hippo at the Prague zoo housed in what looked suspiciously like a bathtub. For years now I have fantasized about having a bath-tub sized hippo in my home, and walking him on a leash. Now I find they actually weigh 400 pounds. I can barely handle my 60 lb dog on a leash, what am I going to do with a 400 lb hippo?: katherine; | Jan 10, 2007 at 10:54 AM
