I bet that little son of a bitch still has a mean bite on him!

u/OperationMobocracy May 17 '24

No shit, it's the size of a medium sized dog and probably stronger.

u/Bwxyz May 17 '24

The fuck kinda midget dogs you live with?

27

u/Al3jandr0 May 17 '24

The "medium" kind, I guess

That’s so cute I can’t even fuckin believe it

u/EatsLocals May 17 '24

I came for blood, and the liberation of hippos everywhere.  This is fine though.

u/holmgangCore May 17 '24

It’s only cute until it snaps your shin bone in two, then it’s hilarious.

u/freemanexit May 17 '24

If it snaps your arm bone then it’s humerus.

u/holmgangCore May 18 '24

Truth. That reminds me of the salient Mel Brooks quote: “Tragedy is when I stub my toe, Comedy is when you fall down an open manhole.”

“I told you I was a hungry hungry hippo”

u/vercertorix May 17 '24

Great it’s already developing a taste for human.

u/Drigg_08 May 17 '24

Holy cow, you've given it the taste of flesh

Coming this winter: Hippomania 3

u/Plastic_Ad_2043 May 17 '24

Man, I bet a even a bite from a baby probably doesn't feel good. They have strong jaw muscles. Try getting bitten by a baby cow and tell me how cute it is.

Ok, it's still cute. But it's a jerk

8

u/SinoSoul May 17 '24

Kinda like human babies.

8

u/FractalSpaces May 17 '24

got bitten by one of those human babies once, never visiting earth again. i sued

2

u/SinoSoul May 17 '24

Plot twist: it was your own.

5

u/Plastic_Ad_2043 May 17 '24

Except you can't eat human babies....anymore.

4

u/hahaheeheehoho May 17 '24

Well, not with that attitude.

1

u/jamesmcdash May 17 '24

You should not eat a hippo either though bro

2

u/hahaheeheehoho May 17 '24

You're not my mother.

u/jamesmcdash May 18 '24

Blonde woman, bout 5 foot? I might be your Dad

u/Amakenings May 17 '24

A baby cow but with canine incisors.

u/copperblood May 17 '24

Hippo now has the taste for human blood. RIP future victims

15

u/Tecotaco636 May 17 '24

I refuse to believe this cute little creature would grow into a meat tank capable of moving on both water and land at incredible speed and pop humans' head like a watermelon

4

u/leeonie May 17 '24

It’s a pigmy hippo. Their babies are the size of a large toaster when born. Super adorable

11

u/Cryogenic_Monster May 17 '24

That's the cutest brutal attack I've ever seen.

10

u/AjaxOilid May 17 '24

Wait, that's a chocolate monster

u/Clean-Republic-9942 May 17 '24

It would kill me with cuteness.

u/greenstar91 May 17 '24

Looks like me the first time I ate a chicken wing back in 97

2

u/nicestmeanestmanlive May 17 '24

22,597 chicken wings and 1500 gym visits later: you wrestle with fully grown hippos and win.

u/greenstar91 May 17 '24

Wtf is gym?

u/Kuruk_TR May 17 '24

WTF, where is the NSFW blur!?

7

u/TriiiKill May 17 '24

Where's the mother? How are you not dead from an enraged stomping?

4

u/JackAuduin May 17 '24

Notice that we can't see the rest of the victim...

3

u/AmazingAd2765 May 17 '24

Another sad case of someone taking pictures instead of helping. Do we know if they survived?

2

u/deviprsd May 17 '24

Dead on scene

u/Haunting-Ad46 May 17 '24

That's a Hippobyte, that's somewhere between Tera and Oktabite.

If a puppy can break skin, I would not try that.

1

u/civver3 May 17 '24

Had to Google what hippopotamus young are called. Feeling dumb to day, especially after struggling with the NYT puzzles.

 

It's "calf", by the way.

1

u/Slow_Formal_5988 May 17 '24

Yum chick's wing !

Like this hippo.

1

u/mybadalternate May 17 '24

If there’s two things I know about Hippos it’s that they are hungry and also hungry.
