愛上家居生活的河馬
When a newborn baby hippo was washed up by a flood onto the lawn of his riverside home, the game ranger who found the dying animal lovingly nursed her back to health.The weakened female survived, put on weight, and grew . . . and g-r-e-w . . . and GREW!Now the hippo that thinks it's a family pet has become a giant-sized problem.For what started out as a cute, tubby 35lbs baby is now a boisterous seven-year-old - equivalent to a human 'teenager' -.weighing nearly three-quarters of a ton. And like many modern teenagers, Jessica, as she has been named, finds family life too comfortable and just won't leave home.
7年前，南非的一個叫托尼·朱伯特的退休狩獵監督官和她的妻子雪莉在其轄區的河邊發現了一隻奄奄一息的小河馬，從此，這只被叫做傑西卡的雌性河馬便成了托尼家的一員，開始了她愜意的家居生活。 7歲的傑西卡就像人類十幾歲的小孩子一樣，愛上了舒適的“家庭生活”而且一點都不想離開家。日子一天天的過去了，原來才35磅（約合16公斤）重的小傢夥現在已經成長750公斤的龐然大物。
