June 22, 2007: Hippo as pet?!
 We've heard these ugly beasts are amongst the meanest in the animal kingdom, but there's one in South Africa that's taken to being a member of the family.  According to the full story, this beast named Jessica was hand-raised by her owner after washing up on the lawn. It was lucky she washed up on the lawn of a game ranger.

According to the article she seems so sweet! There are problems arising like her weight and loving to plop on the bed...the male hippos showing up and her love for a good cup a joe.
I hope they are calling some good zoos where she can be loved and protected! |
