Adorable animals thread - Actual
Speaking of nature's battle cry.
Cute little kestrel falcons. You can tell the poor chicks are a little bit scared but still so adorable.

Looks like a big family of tourists visiting Poland.
I initially thought they might've been Russian based on appearance alone but the fact they they know how to use pedestrian crosswalks makes that unlikely. Plus it's a big family. Me suspects they could be American. Explains how they can be so cute despite being so porky from eating the slop they normally do. Hope they enjoyed their vacation. I bet no kielbasa was safe.

Apparently Murder Hippos can be tamed enough not to go all murder hippo on you to the point you can offer them dental work.
How delightfully horrifying!
Also this clip montage with a brown bear and wolverine kinda reminds me of those buddy mobster movies that started Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci.

Hippos are notoriously unpredictable.
A guy raised a hippo literally from the day it was born; fed it, loved it, raised it.
One day, out of the blue, it pulled him into the water and ate him.
I'd honestly be unsurprised if the people working around Tucker have the facts they're dancing with a horrifying death or maiming every single day in the back of their minds when interacting with him.

Zookeepers so probably. they would know that hippos kill more than crocs in Africa.
Unintentionally, mind.
When they're not actively trying to kill people, they do it by accident (e.g. dragging boats under as they walk along the Nile's riverbed). We... pretty much don't exist to them, so their walking over us because we're in the way is a very real thing, lol.
Reminds me of when new boys would show up at school or whatever. They wouldn't even have to be super cute but some girls be flirting with them just because.
Lionesses be playing too much. Scar gonna get jealous.
I would sooner French Kiss that Wolverine than trust any Hippo.

Hippos get very territorial and will fuck you up. wouldn'g go so far as frenching a wolverine since they are some of the most vicious animals around. they scare off bears. they find another male wolverine stuck in a trap and break in to fight that other guy. fuck that other guy.
Apparently the Cincinnati Zoo has a few celebrity Hippos that they raised from when they were little... uhhh calves? I think it's calves.
They actually posted a bit about the female Hippo Fiona a day ago, apparently had its seventh birthday.
She was apparently born six weeks prematurely and couldn't be nursed by her Mommy.
Aww they look so cute when they're little and can only swallow household pets.
Solid disagree. Hippos aren't cute at all.
They're like those adorable little Pokemon that grow up into becoming organic walking murder tanks.

Hippos do look cute and poochy...,
...until you see a skeleton of one, specifically the skull.
Then you realize that these river dwelling, saber-toothed, murder-machines must have been ripped from some D&D monster manual and given a half-assed kid-friendly reskin before public release.
If anything that wasn't so poochy had such a massive killcount, we would be hunting and eating them, the way we do with gators.
