83% Informative

Pygmy hippos are the world's smallest species of hippo, and listed as endangered on the IUCN 's Red List .

When they were last assessed globally in 2015 , there were less than 2,500 mature individuals alive in the wild.

They are thought to be extinct in Nigeria , one of the West African countries where they were previously endemic, but small populations remain in Liberia , Ivory Coast , Guinea and Sierra Leone .

Ivory Coast has made some conservation efforts, such as planting more trees and enhancing the law to protect pygmy hippos.

Liberia produced a national strategy for the conservation of the species the first country to do so with the support of non-profit organisation Fauna & Flora International in 2013 .

There are around 450 hippos in captivity across the world, says Zoo Basel's Flacke.
