Happy, a 28-year old Nile hippopotamus, and Smithsonian's National Zoo animal keeper John Taylor (J.T.) are a well-rehearsed team. J.T. spent months training Happy to voluntarily enter, and calmly remain, in a custom-made create to prepare Happy for his move to his new home at the Milwaukee County Zoo in Wisconsin.

  • poor thing is alone. can't you guy pair him/her up with another hippo or two? that is the right thing to do since they are group animals.

  • Actually in this video, Happy is getting ready to move to Milwaukee Zoo where he does in fact live with two female hippos. We're told he's doing quite well there!

  • @LittoMoonLight For a very long time he had another hippo living with him. I don't know if he was moved or if he died.
