This is a video of baby hippopotamus Fiona (who was born prematurely at the Cincinnati Zoo And Botanical Gardens), having her gums massaged during a dental checkup while she’s toothing (previously: Fiona suckling in her sleep). What a little sweetie. Sometimes I wish it was my job to take care of a baby hippo all day. But nooooo, I got stuck watching a Tasmanian Devil who never does his dishes and only pees NEAR the toilet, never in it. *hears roommate coming down the hall to complain about the way I talk about him online* DAMMIT *grabbing electric cattle prod* GET BACK IN YOUR ROOM, DEREK. Now — where was I? “It looks like you were about to cattle prod your roommate.” Please, that was just a house meeting, nothing more.

Keep going for the video while I massage my gums with Pop Rocks.
