I had to contain my squeals of glee. I think my bellybutton just exploded.: Alice; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:41 PM

SQUEEEEEEEE! I want a lap-hippo! I know my kitties will share.: Kiki; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:48 PM

If he had a shell, he'd look like the Mock Turtle from Alice in Wonderland :): darkshines; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:48 PM

Soooo cute! Like his little hoppies!: Gwenny; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:48 PM

That is beyond adorable. What a sweet little thing.: e; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:50 PM

I Must Have EET!!!!!!!!: renee; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:57 PM

[THUDDDD]: Theresa; | Nov 14, 2008 at 12:58 PM

Alice, dontcha hate it when that happens? That mini hippoluvabunch is just a cute little rubbery baby doll! Or perhaps bubby doll in this case.: Erebella; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:03 PM

Amazingly cute. I'm in the midst of a really depressing day and this little one just made me smile. I needed this.: Decca; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:06 PM

Oh man. How can that even exist in nature?: crackjob; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:09 PM

WANT!!!!: Floyd's Mom; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:15 PM

And just how many Rules of Cuteness does this morsel fulfill? All of them? YEAH, ALL OF THEM.: Katrina; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:17 PM

HOLY GOD. How can earth sustain such cuteness without causing a temporal dissidence in the space-time continuum! HOW IS THIs POSSIBLE!!!! *feverishly riffles through notepad, checking and re-checking equations*: Oliver's Girl; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:22 PM

It must be an evolved defense mechanism. Any potential predictors, upon seeing this squishy being is immediately rendered into a cutesplosion.: emudoug; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:25 PM

Holy wrinkle tocks! I love how she did not sign any autographs! No matter how many people called her name she did her own thing. She could have very easily popped on some Jackie O sunglasses and ignored everyone. Instead, she just snoozed. Class all the way!: TrumanRabbit; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:25 PM

That was the best 3 minutes I've had all week.: michelle; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:26 PM

I love how he keeps nomming at her shorts. Stellar eye capsules, too!: DKN; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:37 PM

Ok, the jobs those two keepers have...those were smart, smart women. Can you imagine? "Bye, honey! I'll be at work all day, giving tiny baby hippos their baths!" BEST. JOB. EVAR.: Transpogue; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:41 PM

He's teefing. I see those lettle teefs need to chew, chew chew!: shuzluva; | Nov 14, 2008 at 01:53 PM

He's so...shiny! I'd love a tiny hippo that tries to eat my pants. It's like a shiny, rubbery puppy. :o): Mel2; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:01 PM

The hippo is ADORABLE, but for some reason on my LJ feed instead of the hippo there is a video of a choir of senior citizens... it was quite surreal. I couldn't figure out where the hippo was!: Elizabeth B.; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:06 PM

I loved the little ear-flapping action. They move independently! How cute! Did you all hear the story about how she got born though? She came out backwards, so sad :( At least she survived, even is her mom couldn't take care of her. And she looks healthy now.: platedlizard; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:18 PM

Too cute, from beginning to end. First the NOMing, then the lap snuggle, then the beady eyes, tocks, tails...it's like the above poster said, it is a representation of every rule of cuteness in existence!: Josh N; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:19 PM

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! omigodireallywanttohaveonerightnow *Takes breath* Ahem, as I was trying to say, I really want to have one, right now. What could make a better pet than a Pygmy Hippo? A PIPPO! OMG, I am ded x_x: DivaPie; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:23 PM

i think she's made out of silly putty. or maybe pudding.: newlee; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:28 PM

OH dear lord. Must have. MUST!!!! She has to snuggle up in my lapums.: zeldapie; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:42 PM

The lady said the hippo's name meant Lucky in Nigerian...There is no such language as Nigerian. Moving on, OHHH MY GOOODDDD THAT HIPPO IS ADORABLE!!!: natasha; | Nov 14, 2008 at 02:52 PM

2:05 -- hippopota'tocks!: Bee; | Nov 14, 2008 at 03:40 PM

Awwwwwuuugggghhhhhh. That is so cute it almost causes me physical pain!!! I wonder if little tiny wee pygmy hippos with mini Shrek ears grow up to be the same level of dangerous as their big cousin common hippos in the Savannah. :-O Prolly not this little lady though... she'll prolly climb into laps when she weighs tons. :D: Beth (in NC); | Nov 14, 2008 at 03:47 PM

Okay I am officially in love and two; Count them, two tock shots and flickery ears and she is just too cute for words.: Annie; | Nov 14, 2008 at 04:15 PM

When she said "Nigerian" probably she meant either Yoruba or Igbo. Of course there are many other languages in Nigeria but I think those are the two most widely spoken. Whatever, that hippo is indeed off the cute charts.: Anna in Portland; | Nov 14, 2008 at 04:23 PM

Check out the WikiPedia page on these guys. Real interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_Hippo: JohnnyJohnny; | Nov 14, 2008 at 04:50 PM

where do I sign up to get one of these?!?! I love love love LOVE hippos: kellie; | Nov 14, 2008 at 05:05 PM

So cute I can't not hardly stand it...: J. Bo; | Nov 14, 2008 at 05:18 PM

love the tock shot!! so did her mama reject her or die during the birth?: Lucy; | Nov 14, 2008 at 05:39 PM

omg...so cute! I am totally in love with hippos after watching that domesticated hippo on Animal Planet. Too cute!: Jennie; | Nov 14, 2008 at 06:13 PM

She's so shiny she sparkles! So cute!: AuntieMame; | Nov 14, 2008 at 06:14 PM

So many pictures! It's the hippoparazzi: Emily; | Nov 14, 2008 at 06:23 PM

okay, the videographer gets serious props for the two tocks shots! i love how the hippo seems so very snuggly. i wonder what her skin feels like. that would be an interesting snuggle, i think.: mif; | Nov 14, 2008 at 06:34 PM

ultimate *bleen*: angel*; | Nov 14, 2008 at 07:09 PM

Reality is breaking down. I can no longer distinguish fantasy from the day-to-day hard facts of life, ever since I glimpsed this mind-scrambling fireball of cuteness, bursting before my eyes like a billion puppies riding baby dolphins. I question my own existence; my concept of the self is dissolving before the all-encompassing cuteness of this PIPPO!!! When I die, I can only hope I will become one with this PIPPO!!! Living in eternal harmony and OMG CUTE!!!!!! [I slightly prefer "huppy" myself... - Ed.]: Lewis; | Nov 14, 2008 at 07:28 PM
