The hippopotamus Jessica is very known in the world. Hundreds of films have been made about her, many journalists have written about her, etc. It is the dream of many tourists to see her.

Here is that wonderful animal who has captured many hearts.

The story began eighteen years ago. A man named Tony saw her lying on the shore. The mother of the little hippopotamus was never found, presumably she died during the flood. The man took the hippo with him.

The hippo was a female, her name was Jessica.

The Joubert family fed, kept and cared for the hippopotamus. Years later, she was already grown up, and the owners decided to let her to where Tony had found her.

But Jessica was so connected with that family that she visits them frequently.

Jessica likes to drink tea and watch TV. And Tony made liters of tea for him. She also interacts with guests and loves to be treated to treats.

Many people know this story, Tony and Jessica are quite known. The tourists go to see the hippo and meet Tony.
