About Our Hippos

This website is dedicated to the life and wellbeing of a very special creature named Jessica. Jessica is an 23-year old female Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus Amphibius) who lives near Hoedspruit, South Africa.

What makes Jessica so special and unique, is the fact that she’s a wild animal that interacts with humans in a rather different way than nature has intended.

Though the hippo spends most of its day in the water, it is more closely related to the pig than the horse.

After similar weather conditions (a heavy storm and a flash flood) another hippo washed up at the doorstep of Tonie's place.
