Chad Godfrey had always loved chilly Philadelphia with its obnoxious, open oceans. It was a place where he felt angry.

He was an incredible, snotty, beer drinking purple jellyfish with dirty and fragile fins. His friends saw him as a gentle, gloopy gamer. Once, he had even helped a forgotten old royal blue tang recover from a horrible fishing accident. That's the sort of jellyfish he was.

Chad swam over to his apartment window and reflected on his sunny surroundings. The clouds danced on the surface of the water like drunken sunfish.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Elizabeth Walker. Elizabeth was a clownfish, and a helpful gamer with curvy greasy fins.

Chad gulped. He was not prepared for Elizabeth.

As Chad swam outside and Elizabeth came closer, he could see the repulsive glint in her eyes.

Elizabeth glared with all the wrath of 9853 clever Japanese spider crab. She said, in hushed tones, "I hate you."

Chad looked back, even more barmy, and he said, "Elizabeth, I just don't need you in my life anymore,"

They looked at each other with sad feelings, like two fat, fresh frogs singing at a very smelly wake that had orchestral music playing in the background and two uncles cooking violently to a sick beat.

Chad regarded Elizabeth's curvy and greasy fins. "I feel the same way!" revealed Chad with a delighted grin.

Elizabeth looked happy, her emotions showing loud and clear. Elizabeth and Chad went back inside and made herself a nice glass of wine together.

IT'S WHAT WE DO, YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME BACK. COME TO THE ZOO IT'S WHAT WE DO. YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME BACK YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME BACK. COME TO THE ZOO IT'S WHAT WE DO. YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME BACK. THERE'S PLENTY TO TELL YOU. JACK'S ANIMAL FUN FACTS. JACK'S ANIMAL FUN FACTS. JACK'S ANIMAL FUN FACTS.

Hi everybody! Jack's my name and you're looking at the world's greatest animal expert in my family. We're talking about the animals that have their holidays in February. Everybody's got customs and traditions. It's nature's way. I know you're wondering if I could choose a Pangolin or whales or hippos; Well, I think I have a way to work this out to make it all roll into one.

*Hippo Sounds*

World Hippo Day is coming soon here. Hippos are the second largest land mammals. They can weigh as much as 8000lbs or 4000, which is pretty heavy! Hippo or hippopotamus comes from this word hippopotamus amphibious. There's the common looking one, but there's another kind known as the pygmy hippo from West Africa. They live in swampy rainforests. While they're pretty large, they live right here in Africa. They like to live near rivers, lakes, and mudholes. Did you know the word "hippo" means river horse? Besides that, hippos do graze a lot, and they trot pretty fast. Which explains how they got their name. They live in large groups up to 20 or 30, but the biggest pod here in Zambia there were 200 of them. Talk about community. Hippos are semi aquatic mammals, but they spend most of the day near rivers, lakes and mud holes to cool off. A hippo skin may look tough, but it's actually smooth, slippery and can be sensitive on a hot day. If it's too hot and dry, it'd be very uncomfortable and or get a sunburn. So, they stayed in near water and mud all day. In fact, mud is are quick and easy remedy for hot, dry skin. I could use some. So, what do hippos eat? Hippos like tea, grass, small shoots, reeds and water plants. In fact, they can eat 80 pounds of grass in single day. But mostly when they need to stay near the water, they stay there until night to graze on grass, away from it. In fact, the water sources, the lakes rivers, are a good way to avoid getting hot and avoid predators like lions or hyenas. But don't worry, they won't mess with them easily. How fast can they go? It can run shocking 19 mph even though they weigh 4 tons.  Each herd has females in their calves and one male. He protects the family. Is that normal? Well, not only. Hippos might look friendly, but they're very territorial. They can be very aggressive. They're extremely protective of territory and do not like strangers. What makes some territorial? They need it, it's their way to survive. They're super strong and have a mighty bite.

*Hippo Roar*

Did I mention that they're also very loud? They sure are. They bellow, blare, honk and squeal to communicate with each other.
