Hippest attraction at the zoo

Behemoth bonding: A newborn baby hippo walks with its mother Maruska in their enclosure at the zoo Wednesday in Prague, Czech Republic. The baby male, still to be named, was born on Jan. 28. He now lives in an enclosure in Prague with his mother, Maruska, and father, Slavek, a couple already popular among visitors. Weighing 99 pounds at birth, the baby  has now grown to 176 pounds. Visitors had the first chance to see them on Saturday and they have immediately become the zoo’s star attractions. (Petr David Josek / Associated Press)
