✨Pygmy Hippo Fun ✨Fact Don’t let the “pygmy” in their name fool you, these little tanks can run up to 20 mph on land! 🏃‍♂️💨 That’s faster than most humans.So…why so small? 🤔Pygmy hippos are a different species from the common hippo. Instead of life in huge river herds, they live solo in the dense forests and swamps of West Africa. A smaller size makes it easier to move through thick vegetation and hide from predators. They’re living proof that sometimes being small is a big advantage. 💚 #hip

Only a month after the adorable baby hippo Moo Deng was unveiled on Facebook, her fame became unstoppable both domestically and internationally. Zookeeper Atthapon Nundee of Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo has been posting cute moments of the animals in his care for about five years. He never imagined the zoo's newborn pygmy hippo would become an internet megastar within weeks. Moo Deng, which literally means “bouncy pork” in Thai, is a type of meatball. | Williamsport Sun-Gazette
