Chop A Hippo

Hippos don't get nearly enough love. Okay... granted, they're not exactly cuddly creatures. You'll never see someone hugging a hippo in the middle of the street. Hippos have no soft fur to run your fingers through. And they've got really big teeth. And hippos are usually hanging around in cold watery swampy looking places, the same types of places you'd find...oh, alligators and crocodiles and other bitey things.

But hippos are so awesome nonetheless! Just look at that adowable widdle hippo in our themepost. I wanna take it home with me!

The rules of the contest are thus: use image software to manipulate a hippo in any way you choose.
