This is a 2-hour old baby hippo.

It’s amazing how something so big starts out soooo small

Why is it away from its mama. Quick put him or her bCk with mama. Enough with the unnecessary photos

“Don’t tell us the young lady standing next to this cute little fellow is actually wearing “Hippo Boots?” 😉

Beautiful, but where’s Mummy?

It’s incredible..that it’s only 2 hours old…he will grow at quite a rate!..he is very sweet.

Why is it separated from mom?!

Where is this baby from?

Wont happen of course, but I’d pay to hold that baby ♡

how can you not love it?

Puts a whole new meaning to that song you sing at Christmas!😊

Why is it without its mother?

I wouldn’t get too close though. Momma is right around the corner

I think he’s in shock. He didn’t want to be a hippo. He wanted to be a Rhino.

Why are you taking my picture I haven’t had time to wash up.

He’s beautiful

Where’s mama

What only 39 pounds. What happened?

How quickly do they grow?

It’s so cute, if it would stay that size I would love to have one.

So small compared to how,large they become.

Should be with its Mother not having photo taken..seriously!

Oh my goodness, such a beautiful little hippo. They are so cute when they are small, but watch out when they are fully grown. X

Everyone wants one in till it’s 2000 lbs and broke your bathtub 🛁 hahahaha

I always wanted mom to bring puddles the hippo from San Francisco zoo home she was Hugh to me but that was 70 years ago

Looks like Archie without a coat!

It’s amazing how this adorable tiny little baby will become one of the most dangerous animal on Earth.

Smaller than I thought of this!

And she doesn’t look a bit thrilled about it, either!

They are normally bigger than that.

How cute and tiny. To grow up so big?

Seriously? Its mothers jaws are capable of crushing a human skull and she gives birth to a baby hippoo the size of a puppy….. my eyes MUST be trickin me!

First time I’ve seen a new born baby hippo. Really cute. Thank you for sharing .

Omg how adorable is this wouldn’t you just love to feed it with a bottle and pet it just tooooooo cute

Wow there so little . Cute and they get so big . It’s so tiny I wouldn’t think they could keep up in the wild with there mom .

It’s hard to believe something so small and cute could grow up and be so big.

So adorable. Hard to imagine how large it will be one day..

The baby HIPPO IS SO CUTE. I had never seen one this small.

It’s so so tiny and they grow up to be so so big!!!!

I would have thought they’d be bigger like cows, horses and elephants

Wow weres his mom its rare you get that close to a baby Hippopotamus they look sweet but very mean an DANGEROUS too but cute baby

The one species where chubby is considered adorable.

So tiny and so cute! 💖

A cute little thing — but he won’t be “little” very long.

Way smaller than I would have thought. Cute as a button, though.

I wonder what kind of hippo..I’m thinking it’s a pygmy…

Aren’t Pygmy hippos smaller ? Is that a baby Pygmy ?

…most baby hippos weigh between 55 and 120 pounds at birth. Fiona (Cinci Zoo) was only 29 lbs.

So little but I recognized it as a baby hippo!!

It’s a Pygmy hippo. Much smaller than other hippos 🦛

Pygmy hippo.?? Seems a little small for a normal hippo

In a couple years it will be a 2 ton adult hippo
