I have no idea who Zay Harding is but I found this video on YouTube and wanted to share it with you. At least Zay has the sense not to go into the water with the hippos. Can’t say the same for the other two dudes. My only question is, what happens when they run out of millet flour mixed with grain?
Oh, also this Zay guy is really cute. Call me, dude.
These happy blue hippos will eagerly scarf up any spills or drips from your little hippo. The reversible set is made from very soft, 100% cotton with blue hippos on a green ground with a coordinating green and white striped flannel backing that is top stitched for durability.
The bib measures about 9″ x 11 1/2″ and the burp cloth measures about 6″ x 17″. They are machine washable.

Dita With Baby
A stork dropped off a new baby hippo on May 18th for momma Dita at the Bali Safari & Marine Park in Bali. Father Doni was seen handing out cigars to the orangutans in the cage nearby. Twelve-year-old Dita was brought to the park from Taman Safari Indonesia in 2007 and spends her time in Lake Manyara where she is very close to a fish named Cypress. Cypress was the only witness to the underwater birth and has reported that the new baby is a male. Dita and Doni are still trying to pick out a name for their new baby and are dickering over whether to hyphenate their last name.
The Human In Charge, Wayan Surata, reported that Dita stopped eating and stayed in the water for a much longer time than normal which he astutely took to be an indication that she was close to giving birth. However, he did not assist during Dita’s labor or delivery but was seen in the waiting room reading a copy of People Magazine. When Dita learned of this, she rolled her eyes and made a rude comment under her breath about males and childbirth and then chomped her teeth very loudly.

Wayan later told reporters that Dita is very protective of the newborn and proudly showed off his missing finger, lost when trying to weigh the baby. Further efforts to weigh the baby were unsuccessful until Cypress came forth with an estimate of 40 kilograms. She was unable to convert that to pounds for our American and English readers.
Hippo Mojo would like to congratulate Dita and will be sending her a case of Hershey’s chocolate bars and a boppy pillow for those long nursing sessions. Hey, it worked for us!
Pygmy hippos are just so darn cute! Check out this footage of someone setting a camera trap in Liberia to prove that hippos still live there. And then stay around until the end to see a captive pygmy hippo getting a tummy rub.
A darling white quartz hippo dangles from a memory wire necklace with stunning blue foil and crystal clear glass beads. This is a charming necklace, perfect for any hippo fan.
This necklace is a choker style necklace which will hug your neck. It looks best on and will be most comfortable for those with slender necks (think goose necks rather than hippo necks).
This is a one-of-a-kind necklace that will be treasured for years to come.
White Quartz Hippo and Blue Foil Beaded Necklace
Hippos are only supposed to live to be around 30 or so but a hippo named Deka at the Ishikawa Zoo in Japan has far surpassed that average and reached 55 years of age on March 24 of 2010.
I was a little alarmed when the hippo started licking the zookeeper’s face because it seemed like her next move would be to chomp him up. But no worries!
Here’s a necklace I finished last week that I’m quite pleased with. I’ve had these gray and white howlite beads in my drawer for over a year now and I had no idea what to do with them. I bought them online by mistake, thinking I was clicking on something else. I’m not a big fan of these beads as they aren’t exactly my favorite colors. I took them out the other day thinking I might sell them on eBay or Etsy just to get rid of them but then I thought, no, why don’t I consider this a challenge and try to make something from them. I gathered up all my silver and black beads that might complement the howlite and started messing around with a design. At first the necklace didn’t even have a hippo in it. Then I remembered that I had bought these roaring hippos a while back so I dug them out too. Finally a design emerged from the chaos:
Silver & Howlite Hippo Necklace
I’m quite pleased with the result and only reluctantly decided to put this up for sale – I kind of wanted to keep it!
Here’s the description from the website: “Our one-of-a-kind silver and howlite hippo necklace is carefully strung with glass, silver, and semi-precious howlite stone beads in a random placement. Howlite is a Californian mineral that is believed to absorb anger and relieve stress. This 21″ long necklace is a matinee length, perfect for casual or business dress and would work well with a v-neck shirt or collared blouse.”
