I watched the Discovery channel today. One of those shows with different clips of animals doing amazing things.I'm a sucker for animals doing amazing things....of course I also think it's amazing when my dog turns her back away from me to poop. So I might not be the best judge. Anyhow, they showed a clip of a baby impala getting grabbed by a crocodile. The croc went through the normal process of slinging the impala around a bit and then attempted to drag it under the water to finish the job. Now would you believe that a hippopatamus that was near by scared the crocodile enough that it let the impala go. And then! the hippo picked up the baby and pulled it ashore and even tried to revive it?!
It died anyway, and the crocodile came back and ate it.
But that is not the point.
There is no point really, unless someone would like to get into a discussion on the narcissism of mankind. Until I get an invitation let's just leave it at this:
I love hippopotami.
