A new and important addition to the world’s river hippopotamus population arrived at the San Diego Zoo over the weekend. On Saturday (Feb. 8, 2020), female hippo Funani gave birth to her 13th calf.

San Diego Zoo Global began the new year with an immense amount of gratitude. Just before the end of 2019, a tally revealed that the conservation organization’s volunteers logged a total of 2 million hours of service since the launch of the volunteer engagement program in 2009. 

Future, a 10-week-old southern white rhino calf at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, made a new friend when she met 6-month-old southern white rhino calf Edward, on Saturday (Feb. 1, 2020.)

Throughout the entire month of February 2020, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is extending a big welcome to seniors by offering free admission to guests 65 years and older.
