Notes from Africa 
How amazing! I loved how the hippo waited to see that each of the young animals was safe before moving away. Nature is amazing. Thanks for sharing this.

Yes, isn’t it amazing?! Just thinking of the level of comprehension (in understanding what the problem is) and empathy that the hippo has for another species is mind-boggling.
Remarkable! Truly! Thanks for sharing this, Lisa. I too love the way hippo patiently tends to his “friend” till the zebra safely scrambles ashore on the other side!
Yes, the hippo doesn’t just abandon the zebra when it gets close to the shore. That poor little zebra was exhausted when it go to the other side.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Ahh!, that is just too awesome for words, especially since hippo’s are generally very dangerous creatures. Out of curiosity, is there any reference to the gender of that hippo?
That’s an interesting question. I don’t know whether the hippo was male or female. It didn’t say in any of the reports I read. From the nurturing behaviour though I’d guess female.
