There's this hippo.
And Oprah taught me about her. She lives with this South African couple. She doesn't ever try to kill them. She is fed tasty foods and sleeps in a bed, like people. Her name is Jessica, and she was on Friday's show as one of the episode's titular Amazing Animals. Watch her story here.
While you're on the site, click here to see a Skype interview with a Timothy Treadwell-ish character who is a huge idiot. Casey loves his "best friend," Brutus, a grizzly bear, which is the dictionary definition of hiker hubris. This is bad news to Casey's WIFE, who married this schmuck in a minstrel show of a ceremony, in which the BEAR was "Best Man."I was praying the bear would kill this guy mid-interview, but alas, Brutus was too distracted eating course after course of smoked salmon, orange slices, and turkey-avocado submarine sandwiches to get hungry for "jerk in the hat," which is usually a food bears like a lot.
Finally, here is the story of an elephant who lives on a sanctuary who is friends with a dog who had back surgery. When the dog was recovering, she would get a visit every day from Trunky, which I assume is the name of every elephant, and when Oprah showed me THAT clip, I cried like I was being chased by every feeling I've avoided since Junior High.
