Perhaps he is having a pleasant dream or he may simply be obliging the snap-happy tourists passing his tank but, either way, he looks pretty pleased with himself.
‘When we saw his face we just thought we had to get a picture,’ said Jay Parker, who took this photo of wife Lauren, 30, with the animal during a trip to San Diego Zoo. Now the innocent holiday snap has taken cyberspace by storm, popping up on blogs and chatrooms from America to China.

One of the most amazing and dangerous creatures on the planet. Crocodiles who tangle with Hippos live short lives.

Yup. A croc does not have chance against that huge and sharp 4 ton press.

Yeah - Hippos seem like they just want to be left alone.
God help anything that disturbs them or tries to bother baby Hippos.

I read somewhere that they will attack, unprovoked, boats/humans in the river.
