A few nice animal pound images I found:
Nile Hippopotamus

On Sept. 28, “Happy,” the National Zoo’s 28-year-old Nile hippopotamus, was transported to his new home at the Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin. The 5,000-pound hippo was moved in preparation for Elephant Trails—the renovation and expansion of the Zoo’s Asian elephant exhibit. The Zoo arranged for Happy’s relocation to Milwaukee because construction on the Elephant House interior had begun. Happy shared the elephant habitat with the Zoo’s three elephants. Elephant Trails, built solely to accommodate a herd of elephants, is scheduled to open in 2011. Happy was born at the National Zoo on Jan. 4, 1981; staff named him Happy in reference to the “Happy New Year” greeting. Nile hippos can live up to 45 years in the wild and often longer in zoos. Hippos are land animals adapted for an amphibious life. These bulky animals wallow in lakes, rivers, and wetlands by day and graze on land by night. Nile hippos live in sub-Saharan Africa.
