aww. I love when the girl is washing off Kimbiri's face. I dunno, it just looked so cute. Lucky her. I'd like to visit that zoo if I ever go there.

Kambiri is really cute and adorable! I'm glad that Petre is becoming better with her calf! I hope to visit with them soon. Thanks for sharing!

@hugwildlife So cute! She looks like a little dolphin! :)

@Rapprochement123 She does. The genetic and paleontological evidence show us that the hippo lineage split off from the cetacean lineage only about 60 million years ago, the blink of an eye in geological and evolutionary time, so I guess it is not too surprising that there is some resemblance.
