Precious New Pygmy Hippo

Zoo visitors these holidays should stop to glimpse the little Pygmy Hippopotamus calf.

“She is quite an unusual looking baby, and almost doesn't look real,” said one of the Zoo Keepers, but after months of planning for her birth, it was love at first sight!

 

Chimpanzees are social animals that live in communities of 5-50 chimps.
