Hippo Family Pet

The Joubert Family family from South Africa apparently wants to die. They have a female hippo living in their house with them as a pet. The animal has free reign to walk around the house and even eats at the table with the family. If that's not enough the pet even drinks tea! The family found the hippopotamus abandoned as a baby and apparently decided to raise it. I sure hope this thing doesn't get mad one day when it enters puberty. That thing could take your head off with a nibble.Link (via Gizmodo)
