Name the hippo competition....

Darth Vader!

No it's ...... Darth Wader.

If I win I'll donate the prize to charity.... I know Geoff and my wife owns a CRF.

I say its Andy  - washing his kit, so that people will wave again.

Luke, I feel your presence! So wave!

Aargh no, not a tidal wave.......

It looks like the Ando-potamus, a very rare animal to be seen bathing. Most of the time this animal can be spotted on roads, very dusty and it has this mad waving thing it does.

This animal can be very dangerous and the experts believe the aggression is caused by people not waving back at it. If you befriend the Ando-potamus they can be very helpful in times of need.

The last time I ran into an Ando-potamus it had a big smile on its face.

The Ando-potamus is known for its voracious appetite.  It is omnivorous and feeds on a wide variety of food: chops, sausage, chips, potatoes, salad, more chips, your chips, my chips and dessert.  To supplement the food it catches on its own, it also resorts to scavenging off the finished plates of restaurant goers, and has been known to beg for food from restaurant patrons while they are eating.

The female Ando-potamus, scientific name Annie-potamus, is much less temperamental.  The female spends much of her time providing for the male and nurturing the young, and surprisingly seems to do more while eating less.  Do not mistake the friendly nature of the Annie-potamus for docility - this female packs a punch and the kick can be deadly if she is provoked.
