The hippo building in Water’s Edge: Africa is open to the public as a ‘quiet zone.’ While Zambezi and her baby bond, the two can sometimes be difficult to spot, but if you’re patient, you are likely to catch a glimpse. Viewing depends on where Zambezi decides to spend time with the baby, or if we need to move them to a private area to clean the exhibit. The baby’s sex has not been identified and there are no naming plans at this point, but we will share that information as soon as we know more!
