Man, ain't nothin' cute about hippos. They are among the most dangerous animals in the world. Not to mention among the most disgusting.

My favorite line: ...and bit off his head and shoulders...

Well, that about wraps up the safari then, doesn't it?

Not at all. I was thinking the frogs are cute even though everything about their appearance is wrong.... alien.... to all the warm and fuzzy critters commonly agreed to be cute.

Oh, and welcome to the Cellar, BlacKat1980.
