The pygmy hippopotamus is a small hippopotamid. They can be found in the forests of West Africa, primarily in Liberia, as well as in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Ivory Coast.

According to animal experts, the pygmy hippopotamus is a nocturnal animal, semiaquatic and relies on water to keep its skin moist and its body temperature cool.

Their process of reproduction, whether we are talking about mating or giving birth, may occur in water or on land.
