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.

My Holiday

The ride was huge
I remember feeling panicked
The tears welling up in my eyes
I remember holding them back
The sun was shining at me so brightly I was feeling hot and sweaty
I remember the scary rides in Sydney
The Luna park entrance was huge
I remember being scared

Mac's Speech

Today I’m going to tell you why rabbits are the best  pet ever.  They are cute and cuddly, they are very fast runners, they are so playful and they are incredibly cheap to look after.  Just ask me, I know these things because I won a competition about rabbits.

They are so cute, cuddly and fluffy that I take mine inside and cuddle them for about 1 hour.  Their fur is beautiful, soft, silky and smooth.  I just want to squeeze them.

They can do lots of things because of their strength and muscles.  They play with each other and my ones ride on their brothers back, it’s very funny.  I bring them inside and they run around, they are so cute.  Sometimes I put them on a lead and run with them.  Mine lick my face and I just  love it.

Rabbits cost hardly anything to keep.  They eat very little and usually it’s vegetable scraps that you already have.  They require few vet visits and you can make their hutch yourself.  How cool is that?

So why don’t you think about getting a rabbit.  They make a great friend, are playful, and are so cute and cuddly and hey everyone, they are super cheap to keep.  I think everyone should get a rabbit they are definitely the best pet.
