Feed the Hippos

Hippo felt pretty lucky when he got to watch his friends feed a giraffe at the Detroit Zoo. He is a friendly young male named Raspberry and he likes whole grain graham crackers.


But Conny's family found a zoo in Kronberg, Germany where they could feed a hippopotamus!


This hippo's name is Tana. Her favorite color is orange and her favorite food is carrots!


Tana is a hungry, hungry hippo.

Detroit Zoo

Another stop on my summer road trip was the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, Michigan. I made lots of new friends that day.

My first stop was to visit one of my relatives. Doesn't he have a nice smile?


There were some free-range peacocks who walked around with us. They make good tour guides, but I didn't like it when they tried to get too close to my lunch!


Speaking of lunch... We got to help feed the giraffes! That is Raspberry eating from his keeper's hand. Raspberry's dad is in front. They have a really nice yard with a big Egyptian palace.


Those horses are wearing some really fancy striped suits! I wonder if they make them in petite hippo sizes?


There appears to have been a multi-roo pile up!


Don't forget the 'Noceroses! They were feeling a little bit shy that day, but they were nice enough to pose for a picture with me.


I made friends with a lot of other creatures, too! I hope I get to go back and visit them all soon!
