爱上家居生活的河马 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，南非的一个叫托尼·朱伯特的退休狩猎监督官和她的妻子雪莉在其辖区的河边发现了一只奄奄一息的小河马，从此，这只被叫做杰西卡的雌性河马便成了托尼家的一员，开始了她惬意的家居生活。 7岁的杰西卡就像人类十几岁的小孩子一样，爱上了舒适的“家庭生活”而且一点都不想离开家。日子一天天的过去了，原来才35磅（约合16公斤）重的小家伙现在已经成长750公斤的庞然大物。
