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

Great photos. What a handsome fellow! Thanks for all your hard work and great news about the rain!
I love it when people comment as it makes me feel that you are actually reading my blogs and enjoying the photos or videos. I do a regular update on facebook at Turgwe Hippo Trust page and Karen Paolillo but on this web site it is special, as it is the site for the hippos. So thank you everyone who do take a few minutes to tell me what they think. By the way we are so pleased as are having late rains. We had just under 100mm falling in two days on 29th and 30th March and day before yesterday we had 10mm and yesterday 86mm. This is truly wonderful as I had been panicking as there was so little water in the hippos pools and the grass was dying. Now there is a green flush again and more water inland. So all is well in the world 🙂 Love Karen and the hippos xx:)
George is an adorable, cute and precious baby! I love him! Thank You Karen
Wow, Karen, what great pics of George! He is good sized for sure. Fun to see the whole family!! Thanks for sharing photos. Great job!!!
Bob, Robin, Blackface, and Cheeky must be proud. It’s fabulous to see the Turgwe hippos defying odds and thriving.
Hugs,
