House Hippo /houz-hip-po/ noun
(see also: Velvet Hippo)
One of the few magical creatures that you, yes YOU can bring into your home and love for many years to come! This Hippo is not only sweet, but affectionate and cuddly too! He loves dogs (including other house hippos) and would love a social canine in his new home too. Although still very young at only 2 years old, this Hippo is an old soul and loves to lounge and relax, and would make a wonderful companion for movie watching and we are told he especially loves safari documentaries.
Hippo's adoption fee has been generously sponsored by one of his friends!
