It’s a Boy, Welcome to George !

Published : 4 Apr, 2015

It’s a BOY! This is GEORGE, our ROYAL baby Hippo.

Named by Helen Capps of the UK, this little darling was born mid December and his Mother is Tacha and father Kuchek. So George is another little male to join the other calves in the boys’ band,  Banky and Darrow.

We hope like his Royal namesake he will grow strong and bold and Kingly and that one day he will rule over his own family.

For now he is just a baby so enjoy his photos and if you fancy adopting a baby hippo George is our youngest calf at this moment.

 

Love Karen and the hippos

      Hi Joe George’s best friend is Darrow at the moment they are often playing together open mouthed pushing games. George is a big calf for his age and already a character. Love Karen and all the hippos
