Video Description

From KIDS FIRST!: Have you ever had a hippo in your house? This title goes well beyond a common documentary, making the viewer feel like part of the family while watching the hippopotamus, Jessica, live daily life with her adoptive human parents. Learn the pros and cons of taking a wild animal into your household, and share the parents' joys and concerns over Jessica’s dietary habits. See what her chances are for mating with a wild member of her own species. The viewer learns how wild animals behave, and gets a glimpse into the life of a hippo. Clear cinematography and pure sound help the viewer feel as if they’re part of the action in this unique household where a hippo sleeps with dogs and receives a nightly massage using aromatherapy. KIDS FIRST!® KID Juror Comments: “Hippos And Rhinos is a good movie especially for people who are learning about hippos. The part I like about it is how they show it is actually possible to raise a wild hippo. It looked very real. I learned that for hippos to become pregnant, they don’t have to be a certain age. They have to be a certain weight." 67 min.; Ages 8-18.

This review is from: Hippos & Rhinos (DVD)

This DVD is a great introduction to a couple of mammals that we don't often hear much about...Hippos & Rhinos! They're actually quite adorable and they get into some funny situations in this Animal Planet DVD. My favorite segment is the one where Cleo, a Hippo at Busch Gardens gives birth to her new baby. My kids loved this whole DVD!
