Synopsis

The series is about a family of hippos called Happo. This family lives in a safari park in Africa. They just laze and rumble during the day, but once they arrive at closing time and each visitor leaves the park, the Happo family begins the real fun. Members of the family include Astro Happo, who wants to travel to the Moon at all costs, Stunt Happo, who draws attention to himself with his accident-prone stunts, and Party Happo, who is there to party.
