BABY HIPPO’S BALLETIC MOVES

 

Seven-month-old Adhama, a baby hippo at The San Diego Zoo, virtually defines "carefree" with his underwater ballet moves. It's almost hard to believe he's the real thing and not a Disney creation -- all that's missing is a pink tutu and a dopey grin!

Adhama's name means "honour" or "glory" in Swahili, and maybe in a few thousand pounds or so, he'll grow into that regal title. Zookeepers say he's a mischievous little dude.

Adhama is said to be super-playful with his mom, who good-naturedly indulges the rough-housing. He's also a total show-off. One of his favourite stunts is to pull himself up on a rock to take a breath, then perform a slapstick sideways spin and flop back into the water.
