Overheard at EPCOT back in the day of flamingos: "Are those ostriches?" "Yeah, yep. They are!"
This reminded me of something in AK.
The hippos were in the water, and someone was looking down on them and commenting for their kids.
"Look at the Manatees kids! They get hit by propellors all the time, and are endagered now so these people rescue them!"
A CM said, in a VERY low voice (kids had wandered off a few feet) "Uh, sir, those are hippos." He turned bright red, but the CM (and me) just smiled.

I mean, from the top they DO look SLIGHTLY like Manatees, but there were signs up if I remember correctly, and everyone was mentioning Hippos in a loud voice...
