ANIMAL PLANET: Is there anything else you'd like to mention?

TONIE JOUBERT: We have started a Web site called jessicahippo.com. This was at the request of people all over the world, for us to start a Web site whereby they can subscribe and become club members, and after subscribing can then follow Jessica's daily life.

Shirley has started a diary. On a daily basis, she reports everything that happens on the farm, with Jessica, with the wild hippos and with Jessica's friends, the dogs. About three days ago, one of those favorites was taken by a croc called Lolly. But she records all this, with photos. We have this on our Web site.

People are subscribing from all over the world. The emails we've been getting ... Animal Planet can feel very proud about the response we've been getting from all over the world about how wonderful the documentary was and Jessica and all that.

After subscribing, we get responses from people saying, "You know, it's so lovely, your Web site." They feel like a part of us, because they can read about Jessica on a daily basis.

When she reaches mating and the eight-month pregnancy and then gives birth, we would want to put on webcams so that people from all over the world can watch the mating and the birth live on the Internet. We have had, as I mentioned earlier, an offer from [the makers of] a documentary program that wanted the exclusive rights on the birth and the mating. We turned them down and said, "No, this will be exclusive to the Jessica fan club members."

We would've loved on our Web site to have had her on a webcam daily, even if it's like an hour or two a day. But in South Africa, it's too expensive for us to do unless we get a sponsor to help us.
