Muzzle? Are you #*itting me?

They may be Hippo researchers but I'm not sure they know how lucky they were. That picture with the Hippo's mouth open and the guy on his back in the water is really quite frightening if you know what a Hippo bite can do to the human body.

WOnder how many Hippo have drowned after getting the new cocktail from these guys?

Nah...In Texas we cull folks with that particualr type of problem before they go to vet school.

Now the hippo...that is another story...he may be a Texan by proxy.

No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty. Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born in Texas.— Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Texas in May, 1991.
