Pygmy Hippopotamus
The Pygmy Hippopotamus is a small, nocturnal mammal native to the forests and swamps of West Africa. It is similar in appearance to the common hippopotamus but much smaller in size, with stubby legs, a rounded body, and a barrel-shaped head. Pygmy hippos are herbivores, feeding on a diet of grasses, leaves, and fruits. They are primarily solitary animals, only coming together during mating season. Pygmy hippos are classified as endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.
