The Department of Unexpected Interspecies Friendship has featured all sorts of animals over the years, but this may be the first time we’ve found a relationship involving a hippopotamus. Meet Douglas the baby hippo and his two terrier friends, Molly and Coco.

Douglas was abandoned by his mother and discovered by workers from Conservation Lower Zambezi when he was only two weeks old. They flew him to Chipembele Wildlife Rescue in South Luangwa, Zambia where the two little dogs immediately took to him as though he were just a great big terrier. While the Chipembele staff feed Douglas bottles of milk and teach him to swim, Molly and Coco are his constant companions. The staff hope that Douglas will eventually be able to join the wild hippo population in the Luangwa River. In the meantime we can be sure that he won’t be lonely.

If you’re interested in helping Douglas, you can adopt him to help fund his care via the Born Free Foundation.
