| A newborn hippopotamus makes a splash with its mum at the San Diego Zoo.
Full Story:
The San Diego Zoo on Tuesday announced the birth of a hippopotamus and, so far, things appear to be going swimmingly.
The birth of the hippo took place around 6:30 AM Monday. The sex of the animal is yet to be determined.
Animal keepers are keeping a close eye on the mother and calf, who appears to be nursing and doing well.
The mother, 30-year-old Funani, also gave birth last year, but that calf died several days later. The calf's father was recently taken off exhibit and will remain in a separate area for the time being, leaving mom and baby some precious splash-filled bonding time.
