THE JESSICA UPDATE

large text
On Thursday, Nov. 15, 2007, we spoke with Tonie Joubert, Jessica's adopted "father" and star of the Animal Planet special Jessica the Hippo.

Tonie was on the veranda of his home outside South Africa's Kruger National Park. Jessica was lying at his feet on her giant mattress (she even gave us a few friendly grunts over the telephone). Gorbi, her canine buddy, was curled up nearby. And Shirley, Tonie's wife and a licensed beauty therapist, was busy heating up the oil for Jessica's evening full-body massage.
