Description: Pygmy hippopotamuses are more terrestrial than Nile hippopotamuses but are good swimmers and have strong muscular valves that close their ears and nostrils when submerged. They also produce a whitish secretion that moistens and protects their skin. Unlike Nile hippopotamuses, their eyes are placed on the sides of the head and their nostrils are low on the face. The four digits on each foot are more widely spread and have little inter-digit webbing, giving pygmy hippopotamuses more secure footing on land. Date: 7 May 2007, 04:17.

Description: At first glance, pygmy hippopotamuses resemble their larger relatives, Nile hippopotamuses. But, on closer examination, several differences can be noted. Pygmy hippopotamuses are smaller. They weigh 350 to 550 pounds (158.8 to 249.5 kg), stand about two and a half feet (0.8 m) tall at the shoulder, and measure about five feet (1.5 m) from head to tail. They are more pig-like in shape than Nile hippopotamuses, with proportionately smaller heads and proportionately longer legs and necks. Their tail hairs are branched, not unbranched as found on Nile hippopotamuses. Date: 7 May 2007, 04:17. Source: Pygmy Hippopotamus (Hexaprotodon liberiensis).
