Episode Details

Meet Piper, the adorable new pygmy hippo calf at Edinburgh Zoo, born July 31st to parents Otto and Gloria. Officially a girl thanks to her first vet check—and named for her charming bagpipe-like huffs—she’s already stealing hearts at just under five and a half kilos. With mom Gloria’s rich milk fueling her growth, Piper’s getting ready to pack on the pounds while staying close to her nurturing, experienced mother. Keepers are taking it slow to let their bond flourish, and while public access depends on their progress, you might just catch a glimpse soon—if you check Edinburgh Zoo’s social media or app. This tiny conservation success story is already a star in the making.
