Hippos? Is that a joke?
Nope. It all started with my 3-year-old daughter's fascination with hippos. She took a liking to the creatures, got all kinds of attention for this quirky fixation, and we were off and running. The more I learn about hippos, it turns out, the more I share DD's affection for them. What speed (18 to 30 mph on land), endurance (they walk up to 6 miles per day foraging), devoted mothering (baby-wearing -- it's not just for primates!), ferocity (ever fought off a Nile crocodile?) and adaptation to their environment (they secrete their own sunscreen).
