If hippopotamus means "river horse" then the water buffalo should be called bovipotamus, "river cow."

Muppet Fact #559

In 2016, River Horse developed a Labyrinth board game, known simply as Labyrinth: The Board Game. The game has received two expansion packs, the Goblins! Expansion and the Fireys! Expansion. In addition to this, deluxe editions of the game pieces were also made available. For the board game, a deluxe game mat was also produced.

River Horse also created Labyrinth: The Card Game, Labyrinth: The Adventure Game, and The Dark Crystal: The Board Game.

The Chemical Secret behind "Blood Sweet"?

Meet the river horse - the largest herbivorous mammal in freshwater. Despite its pig-like appearance, hippos share a surprising ancestry with whales and dolphins. Their nearly hairless skin lacks sweat glands but boasts a unique feature - the ability to produce a distinctive red, viscous liquid often called 'blood sweat.' In reality, it's neither blood nor sweat. This liquid acts as a natural sunscreen, keeping their skin moisturized and protected from cracking. It also serves as an antimicrobial agent, warding off bacterial invaders. 'Hipposudoric acid' is the primary component of this remarkable secretion." 🦛🌞

you ever see a character and are just like “oh, I cannot wait for them to finally have a breakdown.”

like they take everything that’s thrown at them more or less but you know there’s a breaking point. Where Is It. I Must Know.

the ol art block fall back, speculative monster horse biology 😌

[local-hellhound-steals-spaghetti]

Watching Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron again as an adult is so great because not only do you appreciate the nostalgia and joy of it, the stunning 2D animation mixed with early 3D techonology and well written tight story with a main character that never speaks.

But also you appreciate that the plot relies on horses, despite not being typical talking horses in cartoons, being extremely intelligent to the point that they are aware of their captivity and exploitation. And it involves a hyper intelligent horse dismantling (or, at the very least significantly delaying) American colonialism's expansion into the west.

This horse also very likely killed many colonialists when they were either launched at high speeds from his back, kicked in the head or blown up in a train explosion.

Good for him.
