Another goofy hippo face for #WorldHippoDay:

#WorldHippoDay weirdness: This goofy hippo picture is from a rare hand-colored copy of Michał Piotr Boym's Flora Sinensis (1656), one of the earliest European works on Chinese natural history. So why is there an African hippo in it? 🤔

Well, Boym's voyage from Lisbon to Macao included a stop in Mozambique, and in the accompanying text he confirms he observed these "sea horses" while there. Guess he just felt like including them! (He later also wrote an account of Mozambique's natural history.)

This photo always reminds me of Les Dawson - those of a certain age may understand why ... but also of my first adventure in Africa. #Tanzania #Safari #WildlifePhotography #Hippo #Hippopotamus #WorldHippoDay

Today is #WorldHippoDay and we're spotlighting a special species. As their name suggests, pygmy hippos are smaller than their hippo relatives. They weigh up to 600 pounds—only 10% of the weight of the common river hippo!

Happy #WorldHippoDay! When the park opened in 1975, you would find the Hungry Hippo restaurant in Lion Country Safari. Today, you'll find it as Jungle Market Eatery in Jungle-X! #KingsDominion

@DelphineUnseen Ooooh, perfect timing, because it’s #WorldHippoDay today! 🦛

FYI: het is vandaag #WorldHippoDay 🦛

It's #WorldHippoDay and though one of my fav creatures, these guys kill more people than lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinos combined every single year. They weigh up to 6000 lbs and live for 40-50 yrs.

I always wanted a baby elephant but my husband said it would be too expensive to feed and too much poop to clean up. He said the same thing about a camel. I can't imagine that he'd agree to a baby hippopotamus.
