Get ready to celebrate the adorable and lesser-known Pygmy Hippo on April 8 with Pygmy Hippo Day! This special day was created in 2015 by the World Wildlife Fund to raise awareness about this unique species and their conservation.

Despite their small size, they are just as fascinating and deserve all the love and attention on this special day. So let's take a moment to appreciate these amazing animals and learn more about their importance in our ecosystem.

Pygmy hippos are one of the cutest animals out there. With their small size and playful nature, they have captured the hearts of people all around the world. National Pygmy Hippo Day is a great opportunity to celebrate and appreciate these adorable creatures.
Sadly, pygmy hippos are considered endangered with only a few thousand left in the wild. This day serves as a reminder to take action to help protect and preserve these wonderful animals for future generations to enjoy.
Despite their small size, pygmy hippos are still powerful creatures with some fascinating traits. For example, they have thick skin that helps them stay cool in hot weather, and their eyes and nostrils are on the top of their head so they can see and breathe while mostly submerged in water.
