Let me take this opportunity to remind you not to mess around near the hippo enclosures. In fact, don’t do anything stupid around any wild animal.
Luckily, there are trained professionals out there at zoos who are able to snap photos of cute baby versions of the ferocious beasts that haunt our lizard brains.
These photos of baby animals will make you forget for a moment that every one of these little guys could kill you. Be safe out there.
