What makes Jessica so special is the fact that she has developed a close bond with humans, which is unusual for a wild animal. Her story began in 2000 during devastating floods in Mozambique and South Africa. While a human drama was unfolding in Mozambique, another mother hippo lost her daughter as the floods swept her downstream.
