Obituary. Tianjin Zoo's "100-year-old" hippo Qi'er (1976-2024) passed away quietly at the hippo pavilion on the morning of February 24, 2024, at the age of 48.
The 48-year-old Qi'er is actually equivalent to nearly 100 years old in human beings. In recent years, with the increase of age, Qi'er's physical condition has gradually declined, in the face of this "elderly meritorious mother", the keepers are also taking good care of it, strengthening supervision, supplementing nutrition, timely diagnosis and treatment, hoping that through our efforts to make Qi'er can live forever in the big family of the zoo, and we witness the laughter of every visitor.
Now, Qi'er passed away quietly, so that all the staff in the park feel deep grief and regret, thank Qi'er for the good memories brought to us, and wish our Qi'er to become a free and happy elf between heaven and earth! Time is not old, love is always there, Qi'er, we will always miss you.
