00:00Move over, Mudang. Taipei Zoo's own pygmy hippo, Tabo, is set to make his public debut.
00:08Tabo was brought in from Singapore in November last year. The zoo says he has adjusted well
00:13to Taiwan's winter, eating and behaving normally. But it says he had some trouble getting along
00:19with other hippos, particularly his female neighbors. Caretakers at the zoo affectionately
00:25call him Tang Bao or Soup Dumpling. Zoo-goers can soon catch a glimpse of Tabo in the African
00:32animal zone.
