Spring 2007 - The Wild Times

The Greater Vancouver Zoo is thrilled to welcome a friend for Hazina and his name is "Haben" which is an African name meaning "Pride".
Haben was born August 11, 2005 and is now weighing in at approximately 1,000 lbs, which is roughly half the weight, and size of Hazina (our female hippo). The male hippo arrived at the Greater Vancouver Zoo on April 20, we allowed the two hippos to become familiar with each other through the various stalls in the indoor enclosure of "Hippo Haven" (completed in June 2006) to ensure the safety of both animals.
