My Little Garden Zoo Additions to African Adventures

 As promised, My Little Garden Zoo will continue to grow and change over the season.  Today, among other things, I added three species to the African Adventures area.  The additions necessitate the move from their current habitat to a new placement for another species that I shared with you as part of the initial post last Sunday.  Let's start there.

COMMON HIPPOPOTAMUS, Hippopotamus amphibius
Conservation Status: VU - Vulnerable

I move the Hippos to a habitat that gave them more visibility.  They seem copacetic about it with the cows and calf enjoying the shallow water feature.

South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, et. al.
