Where do hippo fans share ASCII art?
African wildlife Reddit threads, zoo Discord servers, posts about Fiona the hippo from the Cincinnati Zoo, and World Hippo Day content. The hippo's surprising danger relative to its appearance drives a lot of educational posts.
Can this work as a Discord server mascot?
