All this snow at the zoo had us wondering - do hippos like snow? ❄️ Enrichment takes many different shapes and forms - even the form of snowballs! Animal Care Manager Mona and Animal Care Technician Dylan put together some super cool enrichment for our hippos ‘Sparky’ and ‘Lobi’ to give them new textures to explore. It’s safe to say they preferred the hay! 😂 #YourZooYYC #AnimalWellbeing | The Calgary Zoo

They are even-toed ungulates from the order Artiodactyla, meaning they have four toes. Each toe has a nail-like hoof, which sometimes need a little tender loving care from our dedicated Animal Care, Health & Welfare team. We recently went behind the scenes to see our female hippo 'Sparky' undergo nail treatment. Sparky
