In the busy city near Cape Town, hippos live in a special nature reserve, but sometimes they need to be moved for their safety and the safety of people. Moving a hippo is a big job that takes careful planning, with vets gently sedating the animal and using strong, ventilated crates to carry it far away. The hippo’s journey is watched closely with cameras and monitors to keep it calm and healthy. When it arrives at its new home, the hippo slowly gets used to the new place and other hippos, making sure it stays safe and happy. This careful process shows how people and animals can live together, even as cities grow.
