Hippo Kisses

This Valentine’s Day, treat that special someone (or yourself) to a unique Hippo Kisses painting!

At the zoo, we love finding creative ways to enrich the lives of our animals—and Hazina and Habey are no exception!  

Recently, the dynamic duo had some fun creating their very own Hippo Kisses paintings! Here’s how it works: we use non-toxic, safe paint to gently encourage them to press their massive lips onto a canvas, leaving behind unique, one-of-a-kind prints. It's a great way to engage their minds and create something beautiful in the process!

As wild hippo populations face growing threats from habitat loss and illegal hunting, your generosity helps ensure that we can continue providing them with the care, enrichment, and protection they need.

100% of the proceeds from our Hippo Kisses paintings will go toward enrichment for our adorable hippos. Plus, you can own a piece of art that supports a great cause.

Pick up your Hippo Kisses for $100 at Grizzly Gifts, here at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Add a hippo plush made with recycled materials when you buy a Hippo Hugs & Kisses bundle for $115 before the February ends.

Hippo Kisses are available for purchase online!
