“The Pygmy Hippopotamus is closely related to Africa’s other Hippopotamus species, which is the Common Hippopotamus but is much smaller in size weighing around a fifth of its enormous cousin’s weight. They also spend much less time in the water compared to the Common Hippopotamus and even rest in burrows in the vegetation on river banks. “
