Baby Hippo Falls In Love With Orphaned Rhino | When Charlie the baby hippo lost his mom, he was rescued by a rhino orphanage and became best friends with a little rhino. There was only one problem — Charlie grew up thinking he was a rhino too! Today on Odd Couples, watch how Charlie eventually learned to act like a hippo, even though he'll always come back for snuggles with his favorite rhino. To sponsor the ongoing care of Charlie, Moomin and Makhosi, you can support the Zululand Rhino Orphanage: http://thedo.do/zululand .

@DeathBringer7692 years ago I like how baby hippos look like they are naturally smiling all the time. 901

@

@solemnjester21003 years ago I'd like to imagine when they both get released back into the wild they'd be neighbors and still hang out lol. 1222
@

@damnedtolive91213 years ago Honestly, my favorite part is that the rescuers allowed them to be kids first, then taught them to be what they are second. It is a very human approach, but also, kind of beautiful at the same time. 528
@

@CaptCanuck44443 years ago Beautiful and tragic at the same time. The worst of humanity created the situation, and the best of humanity tries to mitigate the damage. 1403

@wendyjansen22723 years ago Thanks to all our conservationists for the hard work and the effort that they put into these orphans. Love you guys to bits❤🌹❤🌹 219

@lgempet28692 years ago Rhinos & hippos are two of the absolute cutest animals when they’re babies….SO unbelievably adorable!!☺️ 101
@

@ABrokenController3 years ago Okay, those shots where Charlie and Moomin's eyes are closed, enjoying the water is one of the most adorable and heartwarming things I've seen 106

@chrisafp0715 years ago This channel brings brightness to a very dark world. Thank you for that! 1325

@neilhamill34414 years ago I wish there was some way to make poachers extinct. 1280
@

@janwitts26883 years ago I have never seen hippos and rhinos together before. . They seem so natural together .. 36
@

@christinaf7133 years ago rhinos are one of my most favorite animals and it kills me knowing that their numbers just keep dwindling and dwindling due to poachers. I can only hope that whatever interventions are being done is enough to keep them from extinction. This story was so sweet and adorable 🤗♥️ ... 139
@

@keithrichards34044 years ago Even after the hippo realized it was a hippo it still loved the rhino. That just shows they truly love one another. 82
@

@moonneko40354 years ago Rhino: “Yo bro your mouth is so huge!”
Hippo: “And you’ve got a horn on your nose wtf?”
But we can still be frens, because we both drink water and love being sprayed by water beams! 951

@amkow893 years ago I love how even as babies, they are so like their species
Baby Rhino: I AM SPEEEDD tank mode
Baby Hippo: chomp chomp 17

@Mububban235 years ago is just a face of pure contentment with the world :-) 464

@chrissy87684 years ago When the hippo closed it eyes and smiled while getting the water sprayed on him was so damn cute🥺 226
@

@michelehernandez4217last year Their eyes are so expressive and I hope they live long, healthy and happy together. 8

@

@jewerly38436 years ago It is so heart breaking to see so many orphaned babies due to human scum poachers. They are disappearing even faster day by day because of humans. 672
@

@l.damour44892 years ago What a terrific story. The people who are the rescuers. How wonderful are they. Every single animal counts. 9
@

@clark9878783 years ago The dodo makes the most wholesome happy animal stories I smile ear to ear the while watching any of their videos. Seriously grateful for this channel. 10
@

@aleksisuuronen90945 years ago Hippo named Moomin 😂 Much love from Finland! These two will have great adventures like Moomin Troll and his friends. 681
@

@darrkstarg3 years ago Usually, Hippos are really territorial. I am loving that the Rhino and the Hippos are friends and that they are friendly with humans. I wish I could be there to meet them. 9
@

@kylemorello47873 years ago I'm so glad Charlie and Mooman are still best friends! While I'm glad Charlie's acting like his species now, I'd hate to see it cause a riff between him and his rhino friend! 13
@

@foxibot5 years ago It makes my heart hurt when they say they will be released back into the wild, because I fear poachers will harm them. 223
@

@jaynedavis33886 years ago I love the subtitles on all the dodo videos because it makes them so easy for people with hearing problems to be able to watch without missing anything 187
@

@spiderlover20212 years ago These animals know so much more about living in peace than we humans do. We should learn from them. 🥰 9
@

@kyleaca51224 years ago Nothing’s cuter than two different species becoming best friends 29
@

@mythmakroxymore16702 years ago It’s extremely interesting to me because, naturally, they dont exactly like each other, rhinos tend to charge at them thinking they are challengers. This turns the whole order upside down and creates something alive and new, and it’s beautiful ... 6

@crikeymos224 years ago Holy crap. Now that is severe cuteness overload. Beautiful creatures and heartwarming story. 56

@

@lovettesmith81963 years ago Awww. Too cuuute. I just love animals. When ever I see their babies, I get happy . Just too sorry that they are not with their mom. But thanks for assisting poor little ones. 8
@

@941To5186 years ago It's so sad to think that they are almost better off staying in sanctuaries rather then being released. How long will they have before some coward shoots them for a trophy? 327
@

@tomhill32484 years ago Well he would think he's a Rino wouldn't he? Without their horns hippos and rinos look almost identical. And neither of them have great eyesight. Heck the rino probably still can't tell the difference. 174

@crisj77043 years ago The cuteness is unreal with these two!!! 2

@

@QuadMochaMatti2 years ago As a Finnish American and a Hippopotamus (as well as Rhino) lover, I certainly appreciate the selection of "Moomin" as the name of Charlie's female companion. What a great pair of friends both she and Makhosi seem to have been for him! I hope they have all been/still are doing well now, as we approach 2023. ... 3
