I think their closest living relatives are whales, or something crazy like that.

When we saw a hippo moving, we could trace its path because every 50 feet or so there would be a small muddy patch in the water where the hippo had kicked off the bottom.

Yeah, I think they call them "water horses".

EDIT: Nope, it was "river horse". Apparently that's what the Greeks called them back in the day.

Love, love, LOVE that show!!!!

It really is a show [2 limited run series as yet, 6-8 episodes each] made for CPers, a homebody with a blunt amusing take on the world, 'forced' by Gervais and Merchant to expand his horizons. They send him all over the world to see the beauty and the squalor in it all.

He strapped as a wing walker on a biplane had me pissing my pants in laughter.

It's probably even better if you're acquainted with Karl through Gervais' podcast, which was turned into an HBO animated series, because his lines of reasoning were just begging for animation

I still think the very first episode in china was the best. I was in tears.

It's great. I've seen a few episodes on NetFlix. I'd recommend it.
