Hippo Habitat

"Behold the Hippo Habitat at the Philadelphia Zoo, a spectacular showcase of these mighty river giants! With a spacious landscape that includes both indoor and outdoor pools, the habitat is a testament to the zoo’s dedication to providing a naturalistic and enriching environment for its hippos. Visitors can marvel at the sheer size and power of these creatures as they bask in the sun or gracefully navigate the waters. The Philadelphia Zoo’s commitment to conservation shines through in this exhibit, where the vulnerable status of hippos is highlighted, and efforts to protect them are championed."

"Hippos are a great thing to be able to see at the zoo. I like how they put two of the most bizarre looking animals next to each other: the giraffes and the hippos. Life doesn't get much more different than those two!"
