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.
