Safari Ltd – Dwarf Hippopotamus
🦛 Discover the rare pygmy hippopotamus – the hidden jewel of the forest!
At first glance, the pygmy hippopotamus may look like a baby hippo, but it is actually a species of its own – fully grown at about half the size and only a quarter the weight of the common hippo. Because it lives more on land than in water, it has less prominent nostrils and a compact body shape suited to the West African rainforest.
Did you know that…
The pygmy hippopotamus is critically endangered due to habitat loss, fragmented forest land, and illegal hunting for meat – making every measure to preserve the species extra important.
