Baby Pygmy Hippo at Zoo Miami – National Geographic Kids Blogs

National Geographic Society

Florida’s Zoo Miami welcomed a new arrival last week–a new pygmy hippo calf! The calf’s mom, Kelsey, has lived at Zoo Miami since 1993. Pygmy hippos are extremely rare. There are only a few thousand living in the wild in West Africa.

See pictures of the hippo calf on the ZooBorns website.
