Its also a good thing they thought about cupling male with a female, as two male hipos would not only pose a risk to each another but it would also not allow them to be reintoduced into the wild that eazily, plus now they just find a good spot without anny hipos and relase the pair there, they whould mate and repopulate said area a bit faster than realising single male or two males, (also for those of you who consider this just a basic strategy yes you are correct thats what you should alway do and we see most of the time, key word being most hence why the whole thing is worth noting)

1:44 Omgsh, they named them Moomin!? As in the series Moomin!?? That's a wonderful reference!

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Thats so incredible because both rhinos and hippos dont do well as orphans and putting them together was genius because both need the social element they would have got from their mums. You are angels at this sanctuary!

[@AGHathaway]

I like how the sheep was friends with a hippo. Sheep are such friendly animals, they make friends with anyone.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

Yes I knew a sheep that used to be a pub pet (until she knocked over the flat screen tv) and ended up living with two Shetland ponies. Very sweet ewe she was

it all fine to love animals but stop with this bs, a hippo in the wild or just a adult one would instantly attack the rhino and kill the sheep, its not a fairytail

Beautiful sanctuary/rescue!!~ :) So sensitive and respectful to the animals' relationships, and a slow integration back into the wild. Wonderful place!

[@susanfrancis5471]

What an enormous job you are doing. Adult Hippos weigh, like 2 tons( is that right?) Allowing these ❤️friends to remain together, is heartwarming, and I Love you for That❤️

I have the same question too. What about the sheep?

Absolutely fabulous rescue story thankyou big hugs to all the hippos n rhinos 🦏🦛🌈💟

[@terramater]

That's so sweet and important to see the conservation work behind it. It's so crucial to save both rhinos and hippos species. Our crew recently filmed a project that aims to save the northern white rhino, but the biggest challenge is that there are only two females left.

[@michaelwalker7860]

Why do we have to save rinos.... why do we have to save any animal? It's a ledgit question. Nature will simply find something else to fill the niche in a few thousand years that's how evolution works. I've never understood conservation of species nature is constantly changing and fixing itself. Life goes on why do we act like we are better? We are also just animals and in a few thousand years something will replace us. You think the dinosaurs didn't hunt specific species nah they didn't care and lived life why wont you environmentalists let us live life. Let us take the damn horn and enjoy being the dominant life form of this planet. At the end of the day all yall care about is ignoring your predatory instincts because you think your better. You have never eaten something you killed and it shows.

[@rei_cultist]

How would you save it then ? If there are two females, what would you do ? Just curious

[@michaelwalker7860]

@@rei_cultist like I said why do we have to save it. In a thousand years another animal will evolve to fill the same ecological niche. Nature has never been stable but always recovers. Do you know how many mass extinctions earth has had and every time recovers. Life will go on, quit making us suffer for nothing the earth has always and will always be fine.

[@Frecklefart-90]

@@michaelwalker7860 I get your point and kinda agree with you. But what the f**k do you "suffer" from that you get so upset over people wanting to save animals? 🤣 Your comment is an embarrassing one pal 🤣

[@michaelwalker7860]

@@Frecklefart-90 well humans are starving in Africa while money goes to protecting a giant pig with a horn in the same country... I would say people suffer yes. Humanity should be considered with humanity surely if you saw my previous point you will also see my current, we are wasting money protecting something while people starve.

Its so nice to see the sanctuary provide wonderful care but still respect the fact that these are large wild animals that need to get back into nature, and are handled with care once they are large/mature enough to become dangerous. ❤
