They're Unipotamuses! A rare and fragile species found only in remote areas of the salt flats.

I used to really like hippos. I could hardly think of anything cuter than a baby one. They looked so cuddly with their clean, shiny gray hide and I liked how they hung out in the water with their head partially above the water line. And who can resist a hippo with his mouth wide open, displaying those pearly whites? That all changed when I watched a discovery channel show featuring them. Hippos, apparently, regularly engage in a practice of moving their tails like a fan while they poo so it sprays everywhere-- I mean everywhere!! Thankfully, they never did that while I watched them at the zoo! I am too traumatized to remember why they engage in this activity, but, needless to say, I don't have the same affinity for them that I once did.

Oh, if only they really did roam freely on the Salt Flats. It might be spectacular enough to get me out of the house to see them in their natural habitat.

I don't think I've ever watched a nature show that depicts animals relieving themselves without getting a major case of the icks. Have they no shame? They just do it wherever they please without any sense of embarassment. I mean, even Lucy looks like she's humilated when she poops while we're out on a walk and she EATS poop, for heaven's sake.

Mel

We should go on a safari in the salt flats to see if we can find a Unipotamus! Maybe we could borrow Heather's jeep?

I guess not everybody had good mamas like ours that taught us to be embarrassed of our bodily functions. GEEZ!

Joel

They should put a Unipotamus in the Zoo. I bet they wouldn't wave their tails while they relieve themselves.

Carrie

Yeah, they should put it right next to Shasta the Liger.
