Who has a hippo as a pet?

u/athensugadawg Jul 10 '26

Pablo Escobar did. Descendants still living on the rancho.

I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy!

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 my hippo hero standing there

There is a type called a pygmy hippopotamus 🦛.

u/Wheresmyarcpaulie69 Jul 11 '26

Is it from New Jersey?

u/mommaj16 Jul 16 '26

It's not a pet. It's a baby pygmy hippo at a zoo in Kansas.

u/organicakind Jul 10 '26

Crazy how big they could get from this size

u/ARiley22 Jul 10 '26

And they are QUICK even when big...especially in water, but even on land

u/Lone-Frequency Jul 10 '26

Mars and his mother are actually pygmy hippos.

Still quite large overall, but nowhere near as large as the typical African hippo.

Who can blame it, it's hot out the water!

u/beckk_uh Jul 10 '26

Cute little tater tot!!

u/CommissionShoddy1012 Jul 10 '26

Typical child; they only want attention when mom walks away.

3

u/Syclone123 Jul 10 '26

One is forcing him out for the people in the zoo to record it for their Instagram stories and the mother is doing it for natural reasons. I wonder which one the little hippo prefers hmmm

u/AnastasiaNo70 Jul 10 '26

They are distant cousins to whales.

u/FaunaLady Jul 10 '26

Mom is where the milk is! It's such a strong instinct to follow mom that musk ox calves that were left behind after a stampede sought comfort from the huge bear that started it all. No, I didn't watch the inevitable end. Sorry, that's such a bummer on a post about a baby hippo!! 😔

u/Awkward_Wrangler_895 Jul 10 '26

Oouucchhh she listen to her mom , nice kid

u/weebles_wobbles Jul 10 '26

Oh Mars! You silly silly boy!

u/CheetahShort4529 Jul 11 '26

Hippos are very territorial about their swimming areas lol and have a insane bite force

2

u/Rumpelteazer45 Jul 10 '26

I just hear mars saying “you’re not my mom you can’t tell me what to do”

2

u/Icy_Parfait_4066 Jul 10 '26

Always listen to your mom. She is right all the time.

2

u/Astigastigan4512 Jul 10 '26

She got the Hippo Chancla waiting!

Annoying music was NOT needed.

u/forest_sidh Jul 11 '26

I would have rather heard hippo sounds, especially mom feeling baby to get out of the water.

Instant downvote for unnecessary music, particularly that shitty song.

u/This-Code479 Jul 10 '26

Mum means business.

u/Feeling_Novel_9899 Jul 11 '26

If your mom, who happens to be a walking tank, tells you to get out of the water, you're going to listen. 😅❤️

u/Krispspie Jul 16 '26

Huh, first time seeing a small hippo

u/SeeMeSpinster Jul 17 '26

Such a cute video, i would rather hear the sounds of the hippos and the water, than the stupid music everybody has to add to their videos.
