Malagasy Hippo

The marvelous Malagasy Dwarf hippopotamus

The Malagasy Dwarf Hippopotamus is an extinct animal that is part of the mammal family.

Description

Deep, dark grey covering the top and side of it’s body; with dusky pink on the bottom of its belly.  The baby’s size were 482kg.  A male could get up to 1475kg and the female weighed 1360kg.  This is smaller than the regular hippo.

Habitat

They lived on the island of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa, but have been believed to be truly extinct.

Diet

The Malagasy Dwarf Hippo spent many hours in the forest looking for ferns, herbs, broad leaved plants, grasses, semi-aquatic plants, herbaceous shoots, forbs and fallen fruit.

Extinction

Two Malagasy Dwarf Hippos were created from sub fossil remains in Madagascar.  The animal became extinct around 1000 years ago.

We think that it’s not fair that people go out trying to kill these amazing because they never harm anyone or anything.
