From time to time, I see a post around here of strange looking veggies and fruits. I have shared a few of my own over the years, such as a tomato I grew some years back that looked kind of like a snowman shape that I drew a face and tuxedo on and posted a picture of it.
I encountered this one on X where the question was asked, "Do you see a dog or a cat?" I immediately saw a hippopotamus. How about you?
I would like to call this a "hippotato."

At what point did anyone see a cat or a dog in that photo? That is clearly a hippo! LOL

@moffittjc Hmm. You may be right about that. Now that I think about it, if someone would have simply called it out for what it was, no one would have bothered to comment it wasn't what it was suggested to be.

@porwest True... At least you don't have a herd of them running around.

It’s definitely a hippo potato. 
If this is not AI generated I wonder how nature turned this potato into a hippo one.

That's really cute. Our sweet potatoes were silly at times, even though delicious.
