	The baby one that was washed up with the tsunami. I wonder how how is doing. It looks like they moved him away from the tortoise and put him with a female hippo that hadn't seen another hippo in ten years but that was in 2007.

	Owen the hippo is still at Haller Park and he and the female hippo, Cleo, are apparently getting on well. It's difficult finding updates, as two hippos aren't as newsworthy as a hippo and a tortoise! http://happyhippolien.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/owen-mzee.html

	Two little pigs were quite newsworthy a few years ago. ;-) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-13503690
