Little known fact

Hippoes poop as a sign of respect or when they get excited. Another crazy fact: they can run at top speeds up to 30 mph! Crazy, huh? Animal Planet can teach you a thing or two. Next time I'm in Africa I'll be sure to avoid a foot race with one of these guys.

Dallin got this "learning" toy for his birthday that sings songs about animals and one part says, "tigers run very fast, hippos do not." Justin wanted to contact the company :)

So how do they know what the hippos are thinking? :-)
