Baby Hippo Watch (San Diego Zoo) – April 17, 2011

Baby hippo Adhama was born on January 26, 2011 at the World Famous San Diego Zoo.

During my weekend visits to the zoo, mother hippo Funani and baby were always in the back, away from the glass.  Both are usually submerged underwater except for the their heads.  Occasionally they will take laps around the pool with Funani coaxing Adhama from behind.  It’s been tough to get real good look at Adhama up close.

This past Sunday, to my surprise, Funani and Adhama were both in front resting by the glass.
