The Very Hungry Hippopotamus

The very hungry hippopotamus (Adest mihi manducare currunt)is an animal that is constantly hungry. No matter how much it eats, it is always hungrier. The most common causes of deaths are starvation, obesity, and being so hungry that it eats itself. It was discovered in 1997 by Terrence X. Pseudonym.

Discovery
On June 5th, 1997 Terrence X. Pseudonym was walking around the African jungle, hoping to stumble upon a pseudanimal. He was then attacked by a giant hippo attempting to eat him. After a long battle that involved bug spray, an old tire, a crocodile, a tooth, a plank of wood and a lot of noise, Terrence X. Pseudonym ended up eating the hippopotamus. He spent the next 7 months researching the hippo and its species.
