Days-old hippo 'Bumpy' given second chance at wildlife sanctuary: 'He sleeps most soundly when cuddled'

Kenya Wildlife Service rescuers found a days-old orphaned hippo beside his dead mother in Naivasha on May 2, 2026 and drove him to Nairobi. Keepers at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's nursery fed him warm milk, wrapped him in a cherry red blanket, and slept with him on the floor; he is now five months old at the Kaluku Unit near the Athi River and was adopted as a little brother by a rhino named Korbessa. He is expected to return to the wild in Tsavo.
