I love animals. And of course, I'm not alone. In Taoism, wise folks have watched animals in order to work out how to harmoniously and powerfully live a life. Furthermore, a psychologist named Rupert Sheldrake once ran a study that strongly suggested dogs know when their owners are coming home even when these owners arrive at random times (see vid below), and though Sheldrake's experimental rigor has been called into question, I still don't think this means the hypothesis wasn't a good one. Plus sexually, animals follow their desires, without the need for social or moral validation. (And to come back to Sheldrake's study, I have often thought that sexual attunement might well be linked with psychic clarity).
Anyhoo, this is just a sly and roundabout way of sharing the Hippopotamus Song, by Flanders and Swann, who were some of my Dad's favourite comedians. The song is ridiculously silly, and comes with an even sillier preamble. Do not listen unless you're prepared for zany, British stuff that hails from the 1950's. That said, what's wrong with a little silliness, every now and then?
