Description
He'll grow up New York - Peter the Second can't look you in the eye - he's that ugly. Less than one year old, weighing a mere 300 pounds, the little fellow hasn't quite learned to live with his ugliness. But some day he'll be big and fat and mean as the late Peter the Great, the hippopotamus he's replacing at New York's Bronx Zoo, and then - look out!
