 Two Toothfully - LP Zoo

Howie, the hippo, doesn't need

Two front teeth from Santa this year.

He has an awesome pair indeed.

With open mouth they sure appear.

In the wild, a hippo can use

These large teeth against any threat.

Just the sight of these fearsome chews

Intimidates as a safe bet.

But nothing threatens Howie, so

There is no need to show hostile,

And his front teeth do only show

When Howie's giving a big smile.

Howie shows off his teeth for you

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
