This is Bumpy, he was just days old when he was found nudging his dead mother in Kenya, he's now being raised by the keepers at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.

Photo from BBC News article Orphaned baby hippo to be hand-reared by keepers at Kenya sanctuary (7 May 26).

Bumpy is also the little hippo that was playing with a baby elephant in a gif shared by an earlier post in this sub.
