Gen-chan at Osaka's Tennoji Zoo was thought for seven years to be a male.
Betrayed by its DNA and unmanly toilet habits, a hippopotamus in Japan thought for seven years to be a he is in fact a she, the zoo where the wallowing giant lives said on Tuesday (Apr 23).

A non-binary tranny hippo. Cool.

A trans hippo? What’s it’s pronouns? Hie/Hey?
So, a third bathroom in the hippo cage along with some sensitivity training for the other hippos?
That’s all we were missing, now even hippos are transgender
That would make her a hippa, and there are medical laws and regulations surrounding hippa that don’t concern a hippo, so the issue is more than simply gender identity.
There’s already a transgender human hippocampus. Rachel Levine.
Ask Charlie the Owl, he’s the know-it-all.
The opposite of the Bob Dylan song Jet Pilot (found on Biograph and on The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series, Vol.12)
Well, she’s got jet pilot eyes from her hips on down.
All the bombardiers are trying to force her out of town.
She’s five feet nine and she carries a monkey wrench.
She weighs more by the foot than she does by the inch.
She got all the downtown boys, all at her command
But you’ve got to watch her closely ‘cause she ain’t no woman
She’s a man.
At least it isn’t Meet the Feebles and she doesn’t have a machine gun.

It was a female hippo who was mistakenly thought to be male.
Hippo tuck?
