Baby hippo Toni inspires Berlin: Record auction for a good cause!

The sensation in the Berlin Zoo has been inspiring all visitors since its presentation in August: Baby Hippo Toni! The cute dwarf flow horse, which is named after the famous German footballer Antonio Rüdiger, not only attracts the crowds, but has also had a high visit. The little rackers caused a sensation in their first public pool performance when Toni and her fellow generation Debbie frolicked in the water under the curious look of the visitors. Florian Sick, the head of the mammalian department, describes them as a rare opportunity to meet these impressive animals up close, such as Euronews reported .

The latest auction in the Berlin Zoo was another highlight. In an exciting event in favor of the Pygmy Hippo Research Project in the Gola Rainforest National Park in Sierra Leone, over 7,500 euros came together href = "https://www.berlin-live.de/freitzeit/erlebisen/zooberlin-hippo-auktion-id324248.html"> Berlin Live reported .
