Now that he's had his first taste, there's no going back.

It isn't cute guys ,unless it's doing that in a playful way . Encouraging that will lead it to act like when grown up and it wouldn't go well. And hippos biting shit isn't cut at all atleast when the grown one's do.

Lol, it's a hippo; they kill for fun.

Letting/not letting a baby do that will in no way impact it's behavior as an adult.

[-] ForestOrca@kbin.social 20 points 10 months ago

I suspect you are correct. And I'm not going to participate in The Experiment. And dang, they are rather cute when smol.

I for one fully support teaching hippos to eat humans from a young age.

Hippos are the best killer of humans among all large land animals. I support excellence, and so should you.

Aren't they third for all animals total? First being humans, then mosquitos, then hippos?

[-] jak@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Do car accidents and house fires count as humans killing humans?

Like, it obviously wouldn’t normally, but mosquitoes have zero conception of harming us, nor do they kill us directly, and they count, so intent and directness aren’t necessary.

You know how babies love jamming things in their mouth...

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 8 points 10 months ago

They all do that anyway. There is no such thing as a trained pet hippo.

There was a podcast I listened to some time back where one of the people was describing exotic pets, particularly lions and tigers, and how their uncle had kept some, and they were told to never let the cats play bite, because they would keep doing it into adulthood, and then you'd have a dead owner.

This is why Joe Exotic's "Tiger petting zoo" had such a high body count. Turns out that meth and tigers shouldn't mix.

LMFAO I highly recommend you go out to some of the friendlier hippos that have never done this at a young age. You'll be fine.
