Good question. She does associate with the pod down river so there is the possibility that she will mate. Could be that she will introduce her offspring to a free meal and a day at the spa like so many mothers have done for daughters before her. heh heh
Maybe. Like bulls being some what territorial can be blown into a bull suited to bull fighting or bull riding. Not so uncommon to jump to a conclusion and have that become the collective assumption.
I have to wonder if she gets aroma therapy too? heh heh
Once she has a calf of her own that keeper will lose his arm feeding her like that.....................or at least that's what "they" say.
They are extremely protective of their babies and generally kill anything they perceive to be a threat.................or so I'm told
Read somewhere that hippos kill more people every year than any other African wild beast with the exception of the militias around Darfur.................but you didn't hear it from me, ok?

We used to have a bull that I trained to run over whenever I came to the corrals, and lie down for a belly scratch.
Ferdinand? Too funny. My brother used to have a cow that would follow him around the farm all day. I love how creatures can have these funny little quirks just waiting to be discovered and sometime excentuated.
