Video doesn't show the circus clown standing behind her slowly letting the air squeak out of several balloon animals.

Exactly what I thought they would sound like. I want my money back.

They sound like whales to me, tiny whales, but still....

Yep, a little 3-in-1 oil will fix that right up.

*sadly scratches baby rhinos off list*

(If I'm never having a cat again, I'm certainly never signing up for that. It's probably a special kind of hell when they piss in the laundry hamper, too. But if YOU want a baby rhino, I'll come watch it when you go out of town.)

Those rhinos better be named Huey, Dewey and Louie.

Farts. They sound like slow, squeeky farts.

But... it's hippos that are related to whales, not rhinos.

My ears deceive me.

It was a baby ox.

It was a baby ox, the inspector said, "who trampled Lord Gramblethorn in the library." A hush fell over the drawing room.

A rhino squeaked uncomfortably.

This is the best.

The sad thing with YouTube videos like this, is that the related videos that I apparently might enjoy watching next are generally about packs of starving hyenas chewing the trunks off starving baby elephants, or starving lions getting their stomachs ripped open by starving buffalo, or some other fucking hideous upsetting thing.

All animals should have full bellies all the time and be best buds and when they "fight" it's just harmless rough-housing and horseplay. This is how I know god doesn't exist, because if I was made in god's image then my very best and most noble and moral ideas should also be god's ideas, but god didn't come up with the idea of lions and buffalo and penguins having satisfied tummies and just kind of hanging out together and playing cards and stuff.

So I have money, how much for a baby rhino. Also, anyone know if they are more apt to survive an Iowa winter than my hippos? I get tired on buying those every year.

Pretty sure someone just dubbed Nibbler from Futurama over those rhinos.

Ha ha. I started to post this as an FPP earlier today after I encountered it and then decided it was just too frivolously joyful for a SLYT post. I was totally wrong. This won the internet today.

By internet law, all baby rhino threads must include this video.

Petunia the wonder cat did not like the alien whale baby noises. Did not like at all!

It was at least 15 seconds before I believed those noises weren't just "Hmm? Who's a good boy?" sounds the woman feeding them was making.

MILK PLEASE

My favorite Animal Factâ„¢ from the San Diego Wild Animal Park is that rhinoceros milk has the consistency of warmed peanut butter.

You...You probably don't want to read the description to find out why they're there.

My favorite baby rhinoceros fact is that, in 2008 after Kofi Annan helped negotiate an end to the post-election violence in Kenya, they named a baby black rhinoceros after him! Somewhere in the savannah, Kofi Annan was making these same embarrassing noises, lumbering gracefully along.

That's surprisingly close to the sound I was making while watching it.

Awww. Those are some cuties.

I don't think these are baby rhinos, actually. They're not whales or wookies, either. They're obviously baby skeksis.

They have ears like tapirs! Squee!

So cute! I got to feed a baby rhino at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal park last year. He was a lot bigger than these rhinos but he didn't make any noise. We were up on a truck, so we couldn't reach him, but he lifted his head and opened his toothless mouth for us to toss apples into. We got to touch his mother who had some wicked huge teeth and was just as interested in the apples.

They sound like a combination of mewing kittens, flirty whales, soggy trumpets, colicky giraffe calves, air escaping from balloons, and a theremin.

Or exactly like my upstairs neighbors.
