25 Pictures of Cute Baby Animals: The Hippo

The word “hippopotamus” has its origins in the Ancient Greek and it means “river horse” and it is one of the largest mammals living on land today (after the elephant and the white rhino). The hippo is a semi-aquatic animal (living in rivers and lakes) and mostly feeds on plants. The have no fur, but a thick shiny skin and enormous mouth and teeth.
Looking from FurryTalk’s point of view, the hippo is a barrel shaped mammal, with Shrek ears and a square funny snout. It has a shiny look due to his playful character which he loves to develop in water. It also have cute round eyes and… adorable babies!!! Since the hippo is such a wonderful animal, I gathered here 25 pictures of the cutest baby hippos ever! Enjoy!
