Jessica the Hippo
April 25, 2009 · Filed Under Uncategorized
We had the privilege of meeting Jessica the Hippo. As a baby she was washed away form her mother in a flood. A south African couple rescued her and has brought her up as one of their own. The is completely tame. You can pet her and feed her. She eats 80kg of dog food a day and drinks 40lt of Red Bush tea. She spends her days entertaining guest, evening with her family watching TV and sleeps with the dogs. She is really sweat but the girls were still a little scared!

I am glad to know the story behind this picture. Because after we went to Kruger and found out Hippos are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, I was a little concerned at how close Anneke’s foot was to this one!
