Rumbin the Hippo turns 24

Carolene, TWPZ keeper

Celebrations were in order this week for one of our Nile Hippos – Rumbin, who turned 24!

As a special treat, we gave Rumbin a yummy ice block in which we’d frozen all her favourites treats such as apples, carrots and, meadow hay in water.

Rumbin definitely made quick work of devouring the cool special treat, so we’re sure she enjoyed it!

Rumbin is considered about middle aged for a Hippo and currently lives in the lake at Hippo Beach with another hippo, Happy the Hippo.
