Three weeks ago, a baby hippo(河马) came to this world in Bristol. It is a very sweet animal. It is doing very well. But people still don’t know how to call it. It does not have a name, because people do not know if it is a boy or a girl. The workers of the zoo think that it is a boy.

The little hippo’s mother is very good to the baby. She stays around her baby all the day. She does not let anyone close. She does a great job as a mum. There are only 3,000 to 4,000 hippos in the wild, so the new baby is a good news.
