Hippos aren't hams/Hams aren't hippos I really like hippos, so this is just a pet peeve of mine. A lot of us here on FPH call hamplanets and the like "hippos". Hippos aren't actually fat. They just have really thick skin. The same cannot be said for blubberbeasts. I do agree, the hippos do resemble landwhales. but it's not because they ate themselves into that state. Perhaps we can say "it looks like a fucking hippo" instead of "the hippo ate 12 donuts in 3 minutes".  From Wikipedia: "Unlike most other semiaquatic animals, the hippopotamus has very little hair.[9]:260 The skin is 6 cm (2 in) thick,[31] providing it great protection against conspecifics and predators. By contrast, its subcutaneous fat layer is thin."  Hippopotami aren't actually fat. Animals with no anthropogenic interference, aren't fat. I AM IN NO WAY DEFENDING ANYTHING FAT. You can ignore/downvoat me. That's acceptable too.  :)
