November 26, 2008: Chico & Gloria

Chico the pygmy Hippo and Gloria the hand puppet.
Quote:
A pygmy hippo which started turning up his snout at food has been given a helping hand to start eating again.
Chico worried keepers at his home in Heythrop Zoological Gardens when he began to refuse food.
But the little animal was lured back to his trough under the watchful eye of Gloria, a hand puppet based on the
star character in DreamWorks children's film Madagascar.


Quote:
'We had been trying everything as Chico was refusing to feed and when I saw the Madagascar hippo puppet
in the supermarket I thought I'd give it a try,' Mr Howes said.
'We were extremely surprised when he took a liking to Gloria and we have been using it to feed him ever since.'


Maybe Mr Howes has stinky fingers.
