Hippoppotamuses are an abomination of nature.
They look adorable, cuddly and friendly.
From what I've been told, they are NOT. And I saw a youtube video about an adult hippoppotamus crushing a pumpkin in its mouth, so forgive me, but I'm not going to poke one of these in the nostril to check if they're dociles or not.
Don't let their cuteness fool you, they're a trap.
