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.

John Pule Poem

Lapis
as clear as the sky
Plants
natures hairs
Twisting
Snaking towards the distant light
Tall
Majestic as a Totora
Small
Unimportant compared to nature

Dear Medusa

We wanted to write to you because you are interesting.

What hair products do you use?  You could use Dove but we are worried about your snake’s eyes because if the Dove shampoo gets into their eyes, they might fall out.  Dove would make your snakes so soft and silky though.  Which would make you feel fantastical.

Do you live with any other monsters?  If so what are their names?  I’m really looking forward to your reply.


Regards

Lizzie and Charlie
