Teeth



Nicky the Pygmy hippopotamus is having her teeth cleaned with a new giant (5ft) toothbrush at London Zoo. The Zoo's two hippos, named Nicky and Thug, have a pink and blue toothbrush respectively - lucky.

Hi Sheila,
What a terrific picture (teeth and all)! I’m certainly glad Nicky and Thug have their own 5-foot toothbrushes; they wouldn’t want to be passing gingivitis to one another. Nicky looks surprisingly placid while undergoing her dental hygiene procedure. One snap of her powerful jaws and the brush would turn into millions of toothpicks.

Thanks for the great post!

Hi gals, I couldn't resist this plaque ridden little hippo

I would love to brush a Hippo's teeth!

I would love a hippo to brush my teeth!

Hi Sheila and D. Prince,
Am I missing something here? I think Nicky is absolutely adorable in her own way, but I don’t know about brushing her teeth or having her brush mine! But, come to think of it, my current dentist does bear a resemblance to Thug.

Do you think the toothpaste they’re using has a special “hippo” flavoring?

Sheila said...

Indeed Miss Litzi, I think hippo toothpaste is SPAM flavored - apparently its delicious!

Miss Litzi said...

Hi Sheila,
SPAM and delicious don’t go together! Perhaps tofu marinated in teriyaki sauce for Ms. Nicky and Thug?
