We at Burning Birch Photography are so devastated to hear the news of the passing of our girl Patti. We are so grateful we were able to visit her on her birthday a few weeks ago. Patti was our pride and joy here in Milwaukee and we are very sad to say goodbye. The hippo is my favorite animal and anytime we lose one of these amazing creatures my heart is always a little more broken. -Meghan

Snip from MKE County Zoo’s post:

It's with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of hippo Patti.

Saturday (11/9) began routinely for Patti. However, at the end of the day, she was lethargic and not eating. The care team continued to monitor her, and after her health rapidly declined, the decision was made to humanely euthanize her on Sunday (11/10). Patti was surrounded by her team, comforting her to the very end, including rubbing her ears and feet.

At 55 years old, Patti was the oldest hippo in the care of an AZA-Accredited Zoo in the U.S. The median life expectancy of a hippo living in human care is 36.7 years.

Patti was in our care for 50 years and was a staff and guest favorite. If you have photos or memories of Patti please share them in the comments!
