Baby Hippo Explores and Naps With Mom, Zambezi

Napping can be tough when you have a newborn! Zambezi is clearly a great mom, always keeping a watchful eye on her little one in between quick winks. Her 3-and-a-half week old calf is great at power napping right alongside her, when not exploring his new, great big world. Once Zambezi decides that naptime is over, the pair enter the water and swim off to their preferred nursing spot. A mother's work is never done.

He looks so tiny next to Mom. Amazing that he already goes in and out of the water by himself. Thank you for sharing this special boy with us.

I love how he just plops down wherever he is when he ready to snooze! 😊💜

Nice , the baby hippo is so tiny infront of mother 😮😊

[@peppywood01]

Absolutely adorable!

[@mken700]

It's amazing how much they weigh and can pick themselves up easily than a human can

[@andreyhatley]

Fun fact is that most of the big size is actually muscle. Hippos only have a thin layer of fat insulating them

Anybody experienced touching these fluffy fat beings? If so, please let know how it felt? 😍

[@CheyenneMtnZoo]

Keepers sometimes will touch the hippos for general health checks from behind protective barriers and say that their skin feels kind of like a basketball.
