Night falls, your home is still… or is it?

The Canadian House Hippo is found throughout Canada, coastal regions of the United States, and sometimes as far south as Mexico. These miniature hippos are incredibly shy and seldom seen in daylight. At night, or when no one is home, they emerge to forage for snacks, water, and nesting odds and ends.
Their favourite treats include cookie crumbs, raisins, and blobs of peanut butter left on the kitchen counter. For their nests, they gather lost socks, tufts of dryer lint, and soft bits of floor fluff. Once warm and secure, they sleep soundly, often for most of the day.
Since their discovery in 1999, more information has emerged about these delightful, timid little fellows. Their habitat remains unchanged, and they are still known for “borrowing” socks and playfully engaging with household pets. However, these progressive little Hippos have also taken to using our devices at night, nudging remote controls, or leaving paw prints across tablet screens while the rest of the house sleeps.
The largest House Hippos may reach nearly 6.74 inches, though most adults range between three and five. Babies and young measure just one to three inches.
House Hippos are believed to bring abundant luck, joy and happiness to the homes they inhabit. Maybe, just maybe… one night you will wake to find one wishing you good fortune from behind your night-stand or basking in the glow of your lamp.
