Indiana Jones and the Giant Hippo

Posted Apr 8th 2009 4:49PM by TMZ Staff

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart took her son Liam to Smithsonian's National Zoo to meet Happy, the zoo's 5,000-pound Nile hippopotamus.

Harrison Ford Calista Flockhart

To put the size of the hippo in perspective, that's the equivalent of 50 Calista Flockharts.

16. The little hippo needs a boy haircut out of his eyes.

17. Nice family, fun day. Lucky kid. Tragic how dumb the comments can get on this site. I'm guilty of being on it too, but the stupid stuff written, seriously? Lame asses with no life.

18. awww that hippo is so cute. And I think its great that they all get to spend time together even with their busy schedules. But what is a camera always doing following people around? Let them be alone already. And I think anyone that is hating is just stupid and immature and has no life. Your mama told ya that if you aint got nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all.

22. I think you mean 500 Calista's, but hey I guess Harvy Levin is the only one at TMZ to go to school.

25. It looks like Calista is a great mom.. And Harrison is a good 'male role model.' I look forward to them 'tying the knot.' Did Harrison legally adopt Liam? Liam looks well adjusted, to me. His hair cut looks fine; he doesn't have the hair cut of Kate Hudson's poor little boy; who looks like a little girl...

26. Hippos can get up to 8,000lbs, can run about 18 mph (a lot faster than you) and kill more humans than crocks, lions, tigers or bears and they don't do it for food.

27. Harrison Ford looks more like David Letterman in this photo.

28. Is that Keanu feeding between films? Oh wait! No, that's just a hippo at the zoo. Nevermind.

29. It's nice to see that celebrities are allowed special access to the animals that the general public is not at the National Zoo.

30. Oh my, I thought that was Harrison, Calista and child meeting the First Lady. The resemblance is remarkable.
