✨Pygmy Hippo Fun ✨Fact Don’t let the “pygmy” in their name fool you, these little tanks can run up to 20 mph on land! 🏃‍♂️💨 That’s faster than most humans.So…why so small? 🤔Pygmy hippos are a different species from the common hippo. Instead of life in huge river herds, they live solo in the dense forests and swamps of West Africa. A smaller size makes it easier to move through thick vegetation and hide from predators. They’re living proof that sometimes being small is a big advantage. 💚 #hip
