“Moomin was bonded with a sheep … so the sheep came with.” Rescue pairings are hilarious at times! Who would have ever thought a hippo would bond with a sheep??
I’ve been watching a rescued abandoned albino African Elephant that was given two sheep as companions. Seems like they’re good friendly animals that help these babies. It’s called the Herd sanctuary. Now the baby elephant has been added to a large group of older rescued elephants.
Its also a good thing they thought about cupling male with a female, as two male hipos would not only pose a risk to each another but it would also not allow them to be reintoduced into the wild that eazily, plus now they just find a good spot without anny hipos and relase the pair there, they whould mate and repopulate said area a bit faster than realising single male or two males, (also for those of you who consider this just a basic strategy yes you are correct thats what you should alway do and we see most of the time, key word being most hence why the whole thing is worth noting)
Untill he gets released back into the wild. After that he might have to fight other male hippos for territory. He'll have to deal with crocs sharing his turf. No more food being served to him on a daily basis. It's basically first day of middle school
This is the cutest story ever lol a hippo that thinks it’s a rhino and a hippo that thinks she’s a sheep end up becoming boyfriend/girlfriend and finally realizes that they are hippos lol
I am sorry, but sheep are not endangered or threatened. They are prey animals who serve important role by being food for other animals, even if it is a pet.
@@ma5839 way to be a mood killer dude, I doubt they are going to feed the sheep to anything, they'll probably pair it off with another orphaned/hurt animal to keep them company
I was volunteering on the reserve that Charlie was released on and am happy to tell you that he's doing well and hangs around his own pond. I just stumbled upon this video and it was adorable. I really didn't expect it to be him.

Having that "friend" no matter the species is more important than people realize for any animal growing up in a distressed situation. Such a wonderful story to see with a great and happy ending for both.
Togetherness welds together. It is not a friendship by choice. 3 animals are kept in small cages, tell me how they could not make a "friendship". It is rather that or people will hold them alone. And especially young animals understand that they cannot be alone.
The same could be said about people... We're social creatures, not meant to be alone. It's much easier to manage or overcome distressing situations if you have someone in your corner. And my prayer and wish is that everyone in this world finds themselves blessed with at least one good friend and especially when they need it most. May you never walk the road of life alone, take others for granted or be taken for granted. 💗
No matter the species/animal is a bit reductive. Plenty of animals are completely solitary from birth, and some combinations of "friends" simply wouldn't work
It makes me sad that they had to be separated when they got older, but I’m happy in the knowledge that they were there for one another during a very vulnerable and difficult time for both of them. ❤
Cute how even as kids that think they're the same, the rhino is reflexively playing by bumping with the nose and the hippo is instinctively biting everything. Like they're both friends and playing, but just instinctively playing to their own strengths.

@@galadriel3134 , Moomin is the name for a fictional species of trolls that look like white hippos. This hippo was clearly named for those story characters, from the stories written and illustrated by a Finnish writer, Tove Jansson.

Maybe hatred happens when people don't know who they are and therefore are threatened by the presence of others. I think there is hope for humanity..............
Actually it would progress slower - humanity progressed as fast as it did because of innate and developed survival instincts - discretion, discrimination, pattern recognition, selective kindness, etc
@someguy892 Its more about getting along with each other in spite of our differences. If we all learned that we may be different from each other but in the end, all we want (humans and non-humans) is to thrive, feel safe and be loved then there would only be peace. Don't you think?
God bless ALL of you who care for those precious babies. I'm so jealous. I LOVE ALL animals and hippos and rhinos are u kidding? I can't even imagine getting to see them and care for them every day. God bless you!
This is so adorable. I just hope he doesn't stumble into any rhinos after he's released into the wild. I get the feeling he's gonna approach them thinking they're going to be friendly about it, and he's gonna have a bad time.
Hopefully Moomin, the other hippo aka his girlfriend, steers him far, from, & away from danger!!!! If not, he is def gonna learn the hard way (horned in the fatback)!! 😨😅😅🤣
I wonder if he might actually be more familiar with stranger rhino behavior than stranger hippo behavior since he was introduced more often to new rhinos than new hippos.
A rhino grows to be bigger than a hippo, and most likely stronger. If adult rhino were to gore an adult hippo with his horn, it prob wouldn't be pretty. Hippos are tough but rhinos' horns are no jokes
Feel sorry for the sheep who got left behind!! Where did her buddy go?! Honestly though, hats off to you wonderful people who step in for these precious orphans!❤

Your attention to every small detail about their Emotional health was Great to see! Prime example was when the Hippo was brought with his Best friend the Sheep! Well Done! Thanks for helping these Beautiful Creatures!
Thats so incredible because both rhinos and hippos dont do well as orphans and putting them together was genius because both need the social element they would have got from their mums. You are angels at this sanctuary!
I am so thankful for The Dodo. As well I am so thankful to see that there are people all around this world which care. Saving the world, one step at a time. And that also helps me stay saved.

This is absolutely beautiful. ❤️ It's heart breaking that any of them became orphans ,but at least they are safe and have beautiful friendships. The fact they have a very big chance of becoming wild again is beyond anyone's imagination

@@Axxxel_in_Harlem yes it is 😋
@@doctajay376 Which means...?
“We didn’t think we could release him if he thought he was a rhino” that is the most adorable thing I’ve ever heard 😭
I love how you took care of the hippos and released them back into the wild. I wish more people would follow suit. Thank you for your work. ❤
They are all so cute!! Thanks for caring for the orphans.
hey there I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hear back from you!
That was really sweet how they bonded thank you for sharing
Beautiful sanctuary/rescue!!~ :) So sensitive and respectful to the animals' relationships, and a slow integration back into the wild. Wonderful place!
"Okay... So we got a hippo that thinks it's a rhino. We should get another hippo. Wait, this hippo thinks it's a sheep?"
The plot thickens!
Nothing just two buddies with existencial crisis are meeting because, why not ?
The sad part is that they didn't mention what happened to the sheep.

@@707josh Suddenly the documentary was written by M Night Shamallon. What a twist!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
those zoologists are the best!! so much effort sooo much works...respect!
OMG seeing a baby hippo and a baby rhino playing together is amazing to watch. Charlie is so gorgeous, I just LOVE his tiny little ears and Moomin and her sheep bestie, ugh I have just exploded with cuteness overload! Great content, thanks so much!
Absolutely fabulous rescue story thankyou big hugs to all the hippos n rhinos 🦏🦛🌈💟
The fact that both hippos befriended completely different animals before meeting each other was such an unexpected surprise to me while watching this. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe that was the main thing that attracted them to one another.

Herd animals are very unhappy alone. Other herd animals can step in for company. Goats are often used as companions for horses, for example.

Wow, that was the most wholesome thing I've ever seen in my life
Awesome and beautiful the animals don't discriminate among themselves.Peole can learn from this too.Nice video thx for sharing.
Lmao tons of discrimination in the animal kingdom
Great n of 1 study. You should be a researcher.
@@nickconnorco I was just about to say lol
it all fine to love animals but stop with this bs, a hippo in the wild or just a adult one would instantly attack the rhino and kill the sheep, its not a fairytail
1:35 Oml, he is nibbling on his nub horn so adorably, my heart melted right there :'>
This is actually an update to the original story I heard about with the baby rhino and baby hippo meeting and becoming friends. Thank you!
So glad for people who so competently and caringly do this work
That’s just a big old bowl of cuteness with a side of precious. 💕
This so adorable!! ❤❤
Lion🎉
JFC I really needed this kind of pure mental positivity after the news this week, thank you
My heart melts ❤ These people are taking such good care of these babies!
Extraordinary dedication and caring. Thank you for your service ❤️
I like how the sheep was friends with a hippo. Sheep are such friendly animals, they make friends with anyone.
Yes I knew a sheep that used to be a pub pet (until she knocked over the flat screen tv) and ended up living with two Shetland ponies. Very sweet ewe she was
What a beautiful and inspiring story. What these animal rescuers are doing is amazing. 🥰🥰🥰
Can NOT resist a good friend story...but a hippo and rino friendship...one of my favorite critters from Africa. YOU SUPER HERO'S do such wonderful heart swelling "hard" work to give these creatures a wonderful long life...its magical. Thank YOU.
*THERE MUST BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU !!!*
I believe so too and dinosaur! 🙏😇
I agree. The VIP section of love.
So glad to see how Aware you are that Animal feelings and emotions are So Important for their Health and Wellness and Happiness! Your attention to every small detail about their Emotional health was Great to see! Prime example was when the Hippo was brought with his Best friend the Sheep! Well Done! Thanks for helping these Beautiful Creatures!
Thats so incredible because both rhinos and hippos dont do well as orphans and putting them together was genius because both need the social element they would have got from their mums. You are angels at this sanctuary!
I am so thankful for The Dodo. As well I am so thankful to see that there are people all around this world which care. Saving the world, one step at a time. And that also helps me stay saved.
They are so blessed to have you guys loving them And that they love! You are all so beautiful. Something wonderful for the rest of the world to see. Thank you so much, Love always, Cindy Myers xoxo
Hi Cindy
I’m happy to know Charlie still got to see his rhino friends! ❤️
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you rescue workers
THE RHINO WALKING DOWN THE STAIRS OMG SO CUTE. It was so careful.
This is absolutely beautiful. ❤️
It's heart breaking that any of them became orphans ,but at least they are safe and have beautiful friendships.
The fact they have a very big chance of becoming wild again is beyond anyone's imagination

Omgsh, they named them Moomin!?
As in the series Moomin!??
That's a wonderful reference!
😢massive respect for not separate the animal who are bonded❤

Baby hippo & baby rhino are very cute !! Wish them both a long journey in life. Australia 🦘
The work these people do brings a tear to my eyes

"Remember, he whom has friends, is never truly alone".

It's *"who," not "whom" in this case.
Can you just imagine little baby Charlie and Moomin babies? Oh so adorable! 🥰
Babies are so cute no matter what
im so grateful for people who do this kind of work.
