in Animal News on August 29, 2014

Douglas the hippo was just two weeks old when he was found abandoned and close to death in Zambia in May 2013. Now, more than a year later, he has joined a pod of wild hippo in the South Luangwa River, close to the Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust (CWET) where he has grown up. Will Travers, President of the Born Free Foundation, which supports CWET, said of the rescue mission: “I’m so pleased to be able to say ‘mission accomplished’ for Douglas.”
