Pygmy Hippo Lunchtime

Adelaide, South Australia

Hand feed Obi, the lovable Pygmy Hippopotamus! Smaller than a common hippopotamus, Obi the Pygmy Hippo is a cheeky chap who loves to swim, wallow in his mud bath and roll around in hay. This hefty herbivore weighs around 250kg thanks to his healthy appetite for vegetables, leafy greens and hay. This is your chance to go behind the scenes to see Obi’s chompers up close! Hand feed him some tasty treats and ask all your hippo-related questions to a dedicated ungulate keeper. See Obi’s gorgeous little ears wiggle, his tail swish and watch his impressive jaw munch through lunch. Obi loves exploring new things, especially enrichment designed to keep him physically and mentally stimulated – and what better form of enrichment than human visitors with tasty treats! Please note the minimum age for this experience is 10 years.

Zoo entry is not included in this experience. Professional photograph included. Minimum age is 10 (All children under 16 years must be accompanied by a participating, paying adult)
