Toronto zoo announces birth of pygmy hippo calf, third for mother Kindia (theguardian.com)

The 20-year-old’s third calf is being monitored by officials as survival rates for the species are challenging, the zoo said

Today's #goodnews is the baby pygmy hippo born at the Toronto Zoo. Within 15 minutes of being born, the baby was trying to stand & within a few hours was moving around on her own. 🥰 Pygmy hippos are endangered & their wild populations continue to decline due to habitat loss & human pressures.

{G.A.S.P.} BEAUTIFUL!!! You've landed on one of Ma's favourite animals (the other is Lemurs). This is the 2nd one she's heard of in just over a week: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... And are you following Mars Potato Jones and his keeper at Tanganyika Wildlife Park? www.facebook.com/share/r/19Kz...
