An itty-bitty hippo!!! Yay! (I swear when I look at pics of baby animals, I temporarily lose about 50 IQ points...)

Like Common Hippos, Pygmy Hippos can be extremely aggressive. Although not territorial, they will still attack trespassers to their environment. Cute, until some gets their eye bit out.

What do you call two pygmy hippos riding a bicycle? Optimistic.

If the potent combination of baby + pygmy + hippo + bathtime ever falls into the wrong hands, I fear for our very existence.

Australia? Make sure there aren't any seven year-olds around.

I have been quietly working to make the pygmy hippo to official animal of the National Zoo in Washington, DC. The pygmy hippo's space there is so tiny. We need your help!

Whoa! Coincidentally, I just happened to read the President Calvin Coolidge had a pet pygmy hippo named Billy! Lesson learned. Do more research before posting.

I read that as "NSFW... Me too. So for a second my mind was trying to visualize the video behind the "(...) cutest[>] pygmy hippo, born into captivity. NSFW" My imagination failed me, I couldn't make the jump to the animal kingdom so all I came up with was this. NSFW obviously.

Between this and the box of puppies, MetaFilter has been a good job as acting as a sort of proxy Baby Animal Channel. Next, I would like to see baby tigers. Thnx.
