It's an immaculate hippo-ception. Well, not really, but it's close. The Los Angeles Zoo has received a real treat for Halloween - the birth of its first hippopotamus in 26 years. It was a bit of a trick, too, because the mother was on birth control, and she wound up starring in an all-ungulate version of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. The zoo says the baby was born Friday. It was somewhat of a surprise, but staffers had noticed the mother hippo gained weight, which made them suspect she was pregnant. Vets haven't determined the sex of the new hippo.
