Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The Pygmy hippopotamus is a small hippopotamid which is native to the forest and swamps of West Africa, primarily in Liberia, with small populations in Sierra Leone. Guinea  and Ivory Coast.
The Pygmy hippo is only half as tall as the Hippopotamus, Adult Pygmy Hippos stand about 75-100 cm high at the shoulders and 150-175 cm in head and body length. Their lifespan in captivity ranges from 30 to 55 years.
