billy the pygmy hippo, dangerous animals

Billy, the Pygmy Hippo, or William Johnson Hippopotamus (1920 � October 11, 1955) was one of the most unusual pets ever kept by a President of the United States. In addition to his fame as an exotic presidential pet, Billy is also notable as the common ancestor to most pygmy hippos in American zoos. However, the hippo you see in this photo is not a pygmy hippo, it's just a baby hippo with baby fat, but I'm sure his name was Billy, or at least that's what he told me.
