Baby Blorp

Shout-out tonight goes to Anne for her support, thank you. And now a treat for connoseurs of le blorp: Here is Obi, a pygmy hippo born last year at the Melbourne Zoo. Sent in by Gigi, who added “When he surfaced and shook his little ears my heart exploded.”

    Squeeee, as some of us former CO fans would say. Such a cute baby blorp. Mama seemed so calm as baby was learning to swim around. Funny when baby tried getting onto her back and slid off and an awww moment as baby swam under her and made contact, as for reassurance.

    Flippy hippo ears are the best.

    The earsies! What a beautiful pair. Very soothing to watch.

    I love pygmy hippos so much, and the babies are extra-special.

    Sharp intakes of breath, cuteness appreciated. Sweet li’l eye blink. Love the blorp factor.

    I agree with Gigi. Those ears are slaying me! I could watch them flutter around all day.

    Those twitchy ears, the plink plink eyes, and the chub folds all did me in.

    When someone first sent me the video, I couldn’t stop watching the little flipping ears, I kept rewinding it to that scene over and over. ❤️❤️❤️

      Jeez, I didn’t even notice until I read your comment and then I thought you were a little confused (sorry about that) but then I scrolled back up and read the header and got it.
