To celebrate her special golden anniversary on this planet, the Animal Nutrition team crafted a special “birthday cake” filled with some of Viviana’s favorite foods, including refreshing watermelon and cantaloupe.

Where to See The Hippos

In fact, you might just spot an entire bloat of hippos! Viviana, Tuma, Tequila, and Ramona live in their habitat on Kilimanjaro Safaris!
