This is quite the story. The native Indians stummbled upon the formerly known "ippo", they thought it was a rock upon the bottom of the ocean. They renamed the "ippo" hippo, due to their blackish color. Named after the African Americans. Now you know where the "ippo" came from. Hippo's were conceived from the mating of the giraffe, and the alligator.
