This is the heartbreaking side of what Care for Wild does. As much as we all hate...

Just for a bit of humour while we're talking about some of the other animals at the sanctuary, how's this for a pair of office companions? They are two rescued hippo Emma (the large one) and Molly. You'd think they would at least make some coffee once in a while! Don't be fooled by thinking...

Wow, thanks for those very kind words guys. These little guys each have their own character and they surely know how to display them. After living with them for all this time, I am convinced that they have worked out a way to communicate with us that we can understand their wants and needs...

Sorry for the silence guys, I took a long needed rest with my family over the silly season. A major safari into the desert conditions of Botswana has done the trick. No people, no cities and shops, just us and raw nature. I'm heading back to the sanctuary this coming week, so will sort an update...
