Bedtime for Bumpy! He approaches his room at a sprint, then - one little whir of the ears later - flops onto his mattress. A day spent cavorting in the water is tiring work, and our little hippo is more than ready for a good night’s sleep.
Bumpy is one of our newest arrivals. His mother died, likely in a territorial fight defending her baby’s life. He spent at least a day huddled by her body before the Kenya Wildlife Service rescued him and brought him into our care.
You can become part of Bumpy’s journey. Read his full rescue story and support him through an adoption: https://t.co/qAEjrv65WE
On this day in 1958, music icon Prince was born. ☔️
This guitar is shaped like Prince’s famous “Love Symbol,” a glyph he created to express artistic freedom and identity. Fusing the astrological symbols for Mars and Venus, it reflects the blending of masculine and feminine elements that became central to his image and artistry.
The instrument echoes the opening lyrics of the musician’s “I Would Die 4 U” (1984): “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man / I am something that you’ll never understand.”
📣 Now open! See "Musical Bodies," the first major exhibition to explore the relationship between musical instruments and the body by bringing together over 130 instruments, paintings, sculptures, drawings, and more.
