A heartwarming film. Thanks Karen. Wombat is very sweet and particularly love the part where he is rubbing his belly along the ground. I hope he remains safe and happy with his mum. Nice to glimpse Bonnie and Clyde too. Great names!

Hi Lona no I actually named him it just came to me looking at him 🙂 Yes when they are at home they feel safe here although we are called Hippo Haven, somehow we seem to have quite few others that take advantage of the name Haven 🙂 Very Happy about that 🙂 xx

It’s so lovely to see how wild animals get a bit of “carefree’ time around your house in which they can play and frolic without having to be on guard for predators all the time, though sadly it doesn’t protect them all of the time.

Wombat was named by your Aussie caretaker who looked after Hippo Haven while you were in England, was he?
