Meet Jessica the hippo. She's a celebrity don't you know?!
The Hippopotamus is a notoriously dangerous creatures and one of the most feared in South Africa, due to the sheer number of human encounters and attacks.
But today, we got the opportunity to meet one up close and personal. And she was far from what you might expect! Jessica was found and raised by Tonie and Shirley Joubert, after she was separated from her mother by serious floods in 2000. Though she lives in the Blyde river behind their house (and sometimes sleeps in her own bed inside), she is free to come and go as she pleases. There are no fences keeping her in, just the bond between her foster parents and the constant supply of food and shelter.
Her situation and story raises a lot of questions with conservationists and members of the public worried about the risks, but I will let you make up your own mind! (I was far too busy being star struck!)
