Description
At New York, Papa Hippo is home and Mama lays down the law. Peter II (right) is welcomed home to the family pool in New York's Bronx Zoo. Phoebe, the mama, appears to be giving Peter instructions on behavior as she stands in front of their fourth child. Papa had been barred from the pool during young hippo's early infancy. Hippos. Peter II, right, 4,000 pound papa hippo, is welcomed home to the family pool in the Elephant House of New York's Bronx Zoo yesterday. Pa has been barred from the pool because it is in the nature of a mother hippo to keep her mate at a distance during and for several weeks after birth.
