I felt it was a good example of a well trained animal that performed its duty.

I love hippos and when I heard about Jessica, we went there straight away. It was a great experience to be up close and personla to a tamed hippo. We fed her and gave her som tea to drink. what a great experience.

Hippo Jessica is world famous and was in the television for almost one hundred times!
We now were in South Africa three times the last 18 months. A visit of hippo Jessica was ALWAYS part of our holidays - this in combination with a visit to the Upside Down restaurant nearby and at the Mholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre is a perfect day in this area!
Yessica is a cute teenager, but has a 'weight issue' (more than one ton). The tendence is clear, she will reach soon the two tons! Touching such a huge animal is an unique experience, you should give it a try!
This year, Jessica has got a little brother. We had the unique option to touch a little hippo of 45 kilograms - it liked me and slept on my legs for almost a half hour! One reason more to come again soon...
