Baby Hippo Born At The Memphis Zoo

Karen Focht April 29, 2017

“Binti,” a Nile hippopotamus, gave birth to a healthy, 76-pound baby girl on March 23, 2017 at the Memphis Zoo.“This is one of our most significant births in a long, long time,” said Matt Thompson, Director of Animal Programs. “It’s also incredibly special – as Binti and her baby are carrying on our legacy of hippos in their brand-new home, Zambezi River Hippo Camp.” Memphis, was once called the “Hippo Capital of the World.” Another hippo on exhibit, “Splish” was born on Christmas Day 1988, along with her twin, “Splash.” The zoo would like help naming their new baby.
