That is the name of a baby hippopotamus.
It got into the news because cute babies.
But it's stayed in the news mainly because people are assholes.
See, babies sleep a lot. Sleeping is not something zoo goers are excited about on average (me, I would just melt and think it was extra cute).
So, you get assholes going to that zoo and trying to make the baby hippo be entertaining.
Which is, imo, peak asshole. Intentionally waking a baby anything should be punished by being tied to a chair and forced to hear Yoko Ono sing for a week straight. In person would be best, but recorded is acceptable.
That's it. Cute baby animal + asshole humans = news.
For your entertainment, The baby hippo made an appearance on SNL
Anyone that survives listening to Yoko Ono sing for 3 minutes is stronger than any human that ever lived, let alone an entire week.
Little Richard still turns himself in his grave from the trauma that is the singing of Yoko Ono. Just look at his face the moment Yoko starts screaming
That's... not Little Richard.
Heheh excuses me, you are damn right. It is Chuck Berry and I always mix them up when I recall from memory. Little Richard was also involved some time with Plastic Ono Band, I bet he had the same experience as Chuck, so they are both turning in their grave at '45 rpm.
It was sad when it was revealed how Lennon really died....
