The four-course meal includes a salad, the choice of fried calamari or stuffed mushrooms, the choice of veal osso bucco with four-cheese ravioli or seared barramundi with roasted sweet potatoes, and a dessert. A glass of wine will also be served.

“Enjoy all this while our animal care specialists chat about our hippos, Uma and Timothy, and serves them their favorite meals,” the zoo states online.
