Hippopotamus Hotel is the latest addition to the National Zoo Park. It is being set up to protect the hippopotamus. Until recently, the hippopotamus could be found in most places south of the Sahara where food and water were abundant. Now they are mostly found only in National Parks and Zoos.

Many students will be coming to Hotel Hippopotamus at the National Zoo Park to learn about this amazing animal.

You have just been given the job of 'Education Officer' at the Zoo Park.

Your first task in this job is to make an educational poster about the hippopotamus. It will also describe the new enclosure and the reasons why it has been set up like it has.
