Sorry but this made me roar with laughter not sure if its an accolade or insult.
but before anyone says anything I like Hippos but I can think of other animals which isn't ' Ugly looking little b****r from the photograph'

Re: Dame Ellen\'s Ultimate Accolade

I saw that very Hippo yesterday, but didn't know if its name. Very cute. Perhaps it will have different names to port and starboard, depending who is looking at it. It managed a circumnavigation of its enclsure while I was there but was receiving significant shore support from its mother, so some here will say that its achievement counts for nothing.

Anyway its not the ultimate accolade.....

...that would have been for the wee boy dame ellen Beckham.
