Toronto Zoo’s pygmy hippo gets a name
Earlier this week, the Toronto Zoo ended its vote to name the new pygmy hippo calf born to 12-year-old Kindia last August. The zoo offered up a slate of name choices reflecting a broad range of cultural influences, and in the end the voters picked was the pleasantly pudgy-sounding Penelope! (via Lois M.)
Thanks, Mike!! That was a FAST post. Just sent it to you. I love to watch her when she gets to the deeper water and stretches her little hind legs out behind her. So graceful to watch!! Then I sent the one of Fiona trying to figure out how to bite into a little pumpkin. She needed help with that. 🙂 Bibi quickly snatched up her bigger pumpkin with no problem.
I hope there will be videos of her first weaving lessons as well.
I want to see Penelope driving her pink Rolls-Royce.
That would be F-A-B! 😀
Oh I have just seen at google that it had six wheels, it may be practical for a heavier driver.
Fiona has pink rolls, does that count?
Penelope is a little love!
I was voting for “Lil’ Potato” but unfortunately that wasn’t an option.
