a few commonly asked questions
1. Are pygmy hippos friendly?
Although pygmy hippopotamuses look relatively small and docile, they can be extremely aggressive when it comes to protecting their home or enclosure. They are not thought to be social animals. However, our animals are familiar with their daily Zoo routine and do recognize their keepers as food providers.
2. Could they hurt you?
Yes. They have large, sharp, tusk-like canine teeth that are used for protection and defense.
