Oh, just a rare pygmy hippopotamus who was born a month ago at the Parken Zoo in Eskilstuna, Sweden, [according to the BBC](http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-29062119 "undefined"). She’s already made a name for herself thanks to her striking similarity to the [Michelin Man](http://static.bdasites.com/bdac/MICHELIN/ProductImages/301540%5Fz.jpg "undefined"). “She is the cutest little fatty you can imagine,” zoologist Jennie Westander[ told ](http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article19469794.ab "undefined")Sweden’s Aftonbladet newspaper. Which, yes. Definitely true. Olivia was born as part of an international breeding program (as pygmy hippos are an endangered species.) She’ll spend two years with her mother until she’s relocated to another zoo in Europe.
