The mating habits of wild pygmy hippopotami are unknown, so most of the information known is based on observations of captive groups. If they encounter other pygmy hippos, they tend to ignore each other. Pygmy hippopotami are primarily solitary but may also live in pairs comprised of mother and calf, or a mated male and female. There are several national parks within the hippo's range where it is protected, and organisations like the Zoological Society of London are conducting research on their ecology to better understand how to protect them. Their wellbeing is further complicated by the fact that their habitat often falls within warzones, which may cause deaths and also makes conservation efforts difficult. The pygmy hippo is endangered, threatened by the deforestation that has encroached upon their habitat, as well as by poaching. On average they are between 75 to 100cm tall, 150 to 175cm long and weigh between 180 and 275kg They have grey-brown skin, small ears and sturdy legs with fourtoed feet, and can usually be found near rivers, where they spend most of their time wallowing and sleeping. The pygmy hippopotamus (or Hexaprotodon liberiensis) is a species of medium-sized mammal that lives in the rainforests and swamps of Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and the Ivory Coast. The Pygmy Hippo ( Hexaprotodon liberiensis) is a mid-sized African ungulate featured in the Deluxe Edition of Planet Zoo.
