They're found only in West Africa. Most live in Liberia, with smaller populations in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Côte d'Ivoire. Size A newborn pygmy hippo weighs around 14 pounds. As an adult, it may weigh 550 pounds or so—about one-tenth the size of a common hippo. While pygmy hippos have a lot in common with their larger cousins, such as a shared nocturnal lifestyle, these hippos are solitary. They are also an endangered species, threatened by deforestation from logging, mining, and agricultural expansion, as well as poaching. There may be fewer than 2,500 individuals left in the wild.
