When Shirley and her husband saw the baby washed away from her mother, they couldn’t resist rescuing her and taking her in as a pet.

The umbilical cord was still attached to the newborn hippopotamus when she was discovered.

She must have taken a liking to her new parents instantly, they said.

The narrator claims that Jessica’s experience proves that some species can adjust well to highly unusual environments.

We need to rethink our treatment of wild animals because “she is a loving hippo who enjoys interacting with humans and displays mind-boggling behaviors.”

Now that she’s an adult, Jessica can go exploring in the woods and bask in the sun at the beach as much as she likes.

Though she no longer lives with them, she still regularly visits them.

She drinks rewboss tea with her cherished parents, the reporter said.

People have taken in all sorts of weird animals, not just Jessica.

Some people thought they found a lost puppy, but it turned out to be a critically endangered species of wolf.

One more couple took in a stray kitten and raised it for a while, only to have wildlife specialists confirm it was actually a bobcat.

Animals of all shapes and sizes, whether domesticated or wild, have been shown to form deep bonds with their human caregivers.
