Bumping Right Along
Bumpy is growing up, and it has been so much fun watching his journey.
Just a few months ago, he was a frightened little orphan. Today, he rules his own little kingdom with a pool of his own, endless swimming adventures, and a growing circle of friends. His favorite activities include underwater naps, floating on his back like an otter, and showing off his latest swimming moves whenever someone comes to visit.
While hippos are naturally very different from elephants, Bumpy has already won over buffaloes, giraffes, and even little elephant Wangalla, who has decided he needs a little extra attention. Their sweet interactions are enough to melt your heart.
It was also fascinating to learn that Kaluku is the perfect place for Bumpy to grow up, surrounded by wild hippos and an environment that will one day help prepare him for the life he was born to live.
If you haven't met Bumpy yet, here is a video. Or take a few minutes to visit Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and follow his incredible journey and meet all his adorable friends and dedicated Keepers for yourself. I think you'll fall in love with him too. 🥰
Have you ever considered adopting a hippo for someone you love?
