Wildlife Wednesday: Augustus the Hippo Celebrates 1st Birthday

Around this time last year, we had the joy of sharing the news about Augustus, the Nile hippopotamus born in January at Disney’s Animal Kingdom – the first hippo to be born at the park in more than a decade. Knowing how much Disney Parks Blog readers love hearing about Augustus, I’m happy to share he has had a phenomenal first year marked with much, much, much growth – all great for a young hippo. To celebrate Augustus’ 1st birthday, our keepers made a sweet popsicle cake featuring some of his favorite treats as enrichment for him and his hippo family to share.
