Hippos helped duckling out of pond at zoo

A young duckling was given a helping nudge to get out of the water in the hippo enclosure at Diergaarde Blijdorp zoo in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on Saturday.
The little bird couldn't get out of the pond and two curious hippos finally helped it out with a final push.
Filmed by Breshna Senchi, she said: "I had just taken my son and daughter to the zoo. At first we were worried that the bird was about to be eaten, but the hippos really wanted to help."

According to the zoo the hippos had no intention of eating the duckling. "Hippos do not eat meat, but they are very curious about visitors," said Constance Alderlieste from the zoo.
