Douglas the hippo, who was found abandoned at just two weeks old, has been released into the wild in Zambia

Douglas the hippo was just two weeks when he was found abandoned and close to death in the Zambian wild in May 2013.

During his time at the wildlife centre, Douglas, pictured as a baby last year, grew close to the owners' two terriers Molly and Coco .

 Now, more than a year later, he has joined a pod of wild hippo in the South Luangwa River, close to the wildlife center where he has grown up.
