Hippos are extremely dangerous PO1 William "Chip" Nagel. If I had a choice I would prefer Reindeer unless this is a game of Hungry Hungry Hippo. :-)
"NPR's Robert Siegel talks with Gayla Peevey, who sang the original version of "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" in 1953. That song helped the Oklahoma City Zoo get its first hippo — and this past week, Peevey welcomed the zoo's newest hippo addition."

Ever heard the song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas"? It originated in OKC, so that's probably why.
