Aren't hippos cute?

No!

Here’s why: Hippos like mud baths. I know, a little mud isn’t so bad. 

But after getting into mud baths, hippos use that excuse to fling and toss their own poop around . . . And they shoot it out of their mouths, like fecal spitballs!


Of course, they have their reasons. Hippos spit their poop to mark off territory. Bonus: If any of the spat hippo poop makes it to shore, baboons like to eat it.

Oh boy.
