Pygmy Hippo baby makes a splash

Obi, our little baby Pygmy Hippo ventured out with mum, Petre, for a swim in the big pool for the first time. The name Obi means heart in the Nigerian Igbo language, and he is certainly melting a few hearts here at Melbourne Zoo :) Zoos Victoria is a zoo-based conservation organisation, fighting for a future rich in wildlife.
