Old Milwaukee

One Hippo's loss is another hippo's gain. Washington, D.C.'s Happy the Hippo is headed to Milwaukee.


Happy needed to move out since his current building at the National Zoo is being renovated to expand the elephant habitat. But it's not all sad – Happy has several amenities to enjoy at his new home including:

• Heated floors
• Swimming pool
• Shower
• Two female roomates: Patty and Puddles

Hippo hopes to make a trip to Milwaukee after the move to keep in touch with his Great Uncle (and maybe enjoy his fancy facilities).

Adopt a hippo

Happy, the resident hippopotamus of the National Zoo, is looking for a new home. His current pad is due to be replaced by a spacious elephant habitat so he has to move. His long-time keeper, JT, will miss his big, bulbous buddy.
