  • ‘Adorable’ Baby Pygmy Hippo Needs A Name, Zoo Says

    ‘Adorable’ Baby Pygmy Hippo Needs A Name, Zoo Says


    This has been a bumper year for baby pygmy hippos. First, charismatic youngster Moo Deng of Thailand dominated the internet through memes, TikTok makeup tutorials and a “Saturday Night Live” controversy. Then, Haggis the baby pygmy hippo arrived in Scotland. Now a new star is born at the Metro Richmond Zoo in Virginia. The zoo is seeking the public’s help in naming the baby.

    The pygmy hippopotamus was born on Dec. 9 and given an official birth announcement on Dec. 24. The parents are Iris and Corwin. It’s their third calf together. The baby had a watery entrance. “This birth was unique as it was the first time Iris gave birth in water,” the zoo said. “While common hippos usually give birth underwater, pygmy hippo calves can be born on land or in water.”

    Pygmy hippos, known formally as Choeropsis liberiensis, are much smaller than a standard hippo. Adults can reach up to 600 pounds, but the zoo’s baby weighed in at 15 pounds when she was five days old—about the size of a large house cat. The reclusive species is native to West Africa and loves water just as much as its heftier counterparts.

    Baby pygmy hippo naming poll

    The Metro Richmond Zoo’s newcomer needs a name. Sorry, “Hippo McHippoFace” isn’t an option. The zoo launched an online poll with four contenders. “Poppy” is a flower that would match the baby’s mom’s flowery name “Iris.” “Juniper” is an evergreen that would commemorate the baby’s birth in winter. “Hammie Mae” is a nod to Virginia ham. “Omi” means water in the West African language Yoruba.

    The naming poll closes on Dec. 31. The zoo had already received over 14,000 votes as of Dec. 28. “We’re thrilled to see so many people joining in on the fun of naming our adorable pygmy hippo baby,” the zoo said.

    One name seemed to be in the lead with 39.4% of the vote, but the zoo wouldn’t reveal the leader. An informal survey of comments on the zoo’s Facebook post shows “Poppy” is popular. If a name doesn’t get at least 50% of the vote, then the zoo will launch a runoff with the top two names going head-to-head in a revote. Otherwise, the zoo will announce the winner on New Year’s Day.

    If “Hammie Mae” comes out on top, the hippo will be in good company with other food-themed pygmy hippo names. Moo Deng, the most famous pygmy hippo, has a name that translates to “bouncy pork.” The Scottish hippo born earlier this year is named after a famously divisive dish made with offal.

    Pygmy hippos are endangered

    The International Union for Conservation of Nature classifies pygmy hippos as endangered on its Red List of Threatened Species. Experts estimate less than 2,500 mature individuals live in the wild. The animals are under pressure from loss of habitat and hunting. Zoos are part of an effort to preserve the species, so every pygmy hippo baby is celebrated. “This birth—like all of Iris’ births—plays an important role in helping protect this rare and elusive species,” the Metro Richmond Zoo said.

    The new hippo on the block is unlikely to eclipse Moo Deng’s celebrity, but the public has a seemingly endless appetite for images and videos of cute animals. Baby pygmy hippos are shiny, tiny, round and sassy. The baby won’t stay small for long. “The calf is nursing and growing quickly,” the zoo said. Soon, she won’t be just “the baby” anymore. She’ll have a name of her own to carry along with a ray of hope for an endangered species.

  • A hippopotamus for Christmas: Baby pygmy hippo born at Virginia zoo

    A hippopotamus for Christmas: Baby pygmy hippo born at Virginia zoo


    A Virginia zoo is celebrating the arrival of an adorable newborn pygmy hippo who made her debut just before Christmas. 

    The baby hippo, a girl who has not yet been named, was born to parents Iris and Corwin at Metro Richmond Zoo on Dec. 9. She’s their third female calf in under five years. The zoo said Iris was all smiles on Christmas morning.

    “Most people don’t get a hippopotamus for Christmas at all, so we feel lucky to have received two over the years,” the zoo said. Iris and Corwin’s previous calf was born on Dec. 6, 2022.

    Iris delivered her latest newborn after a seven-month gestation, zoo officials said. She gave birth in an indoor pool. 

    “The baby’s natural instincts kicked in and she started moving around in the water immediately,” the zoo said on its website.

    The mom and newborn are currently being kept in an enclosure that is not on exhibit to give them privacy while they bond. 

    “Iris is an experienced mother and very protective of her calf,” the zoo said. “The calf is nursing and growing quickly.”

    The new pygmy hippo was weighed when she was 5 days old and came in at a healthy 15 pounds, the zoo said. She could grow to weigh up to 600 pounds.

    The newborn was weighed several days after birth and came in at 15 pounds.

    Her birth will help preserve the species, which is endangered. 

    Fewer than 2,500 mature pygmy hippos remain in the wild, according to the zoo. The species is native to the swamps and rivers of West Africa, where it’s threatened by poaching and loss of habitat.

    Pygmy hippos do not live in groups, so after they grew up, Iris’ two previous calves were moved to other zoological facilities “to live with future mates and continue contributing to the conservation of their species,” the zoo said.

    The species is nocturnal, and the zoo says they can live up to 55 years.

    Earlier this year, a newborn baby hippo in Thailand named Moo Deng became a global sensation when a zookeeper started sharing her cutest moments on social media. 



    The Virginia Zoo is celebrating a special Christmas gift this year with the birth of a baby pygmy hippo! The adorable calf was born to proud parents Rosie and Lenny, and has already captured the hearts of zoo visitors with its playful antics and cute little snout.

    Pygmy hippos are an endangered species, with only a few thousand left in the wild. The birth of this calf is not only a cause for celebration, but also a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent animals.

    Visitors to the Virginia Zoo can now catch a glimpse of the new baby hippo as it explores its surroundings and learns to swim alongside its mother. It’s the perfect holiday treat for animal lovers of all ages.

    So if you’re looking for a unique and heartwarming way to celebrate the holidays, why not pay a visit to the Virginia Zoo and welcome their newest addition – a hippopotamus for Christmas!

    It looks like production at the viral baby pygmy hippo factory is at an all-time high, with the Metro Richmond Zoo in Moseley, Va., announcing the birth of a healthy female hippo to parents Iris and Corwin this month.

    The gloriously moist critter is the same species as worldwide superstars Moo Deng from Thailand and Haggis from Scotland (though pygmy hippopotamuses are native to forests and swamps in West Africa). At least one other baby pygmy hippo made a public appearance to fanfare this year — Toni, in Germany.

    YouTube

    The American member of this squad will have her name decided in an online poll held by the Metro Richmond Zoo.

    Voting is open until 2 p.m. Tuesday, with the winning name announced on New Year’s Day. The name options are Poppy, Juniper, Hammie Mae and Omi.

    Voters will have to choose carefully and cement her place as an icon next to her peers.

    Moo Deng was one of the internet’s biggest celebrities in 2024, known for her rotund figure and fiery personality. She was plastered across social media feeds, parodied on SNL, and faced the pitfalls of fame when visitors had their viewing privileges restricted for throwing items into her enclosure. When Haggis came onto the scene in Edinburgh, she was subjected to headlines pitting her against her ham-like sister.

    This new boom of squishy babies marks important ecological progress for pygmy hippos, which are an endangered species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

    An estimated 2,000 remain in the world, mainly in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and the Ivory Coast, due to habitat loss and being hunted for bushmeat, according to the Pygmy Hippo Foundation.

    So the latest baby is not just a new source of joy for us to fawn over online. NPR’s Jaclyn Diaz spoke to Jonny Appleyard, hoofstock team leader at Edinburgh Zoo back in November, about how crucial each new birth is, saying, “It is important to remember that pygmy hippos are incredibly rare,” and that having little ambassadors to connect with visitors can “help raise awareness of the challenges the species face in the wild.”

    In short: Keep those slick little babies coming!





    The Virginia Zoo is celebrating the birth of a baby pygmy hippo, and they need your help to give it a name! Pygmy hippos are an endangered species, so this new arrival is especially exciting for conservation efforts.

    The little hippo was born on (date) to proud parents (mother’s name) and (father’s name). The zookeepers report that both mom and baby are doing well, and the baby is already starting to explore its new surroundings.

    To help choose a name for the new baby, the Virginia Zoo is asking for suggestions from the public. You can submit your idea for a name on the zoo’s website or social media pages. The winning name will be announced in a few weeks, so be sure to get your suggestion in soon!

    In the meantime, visitors to the zoo can catch a glimpse of the adorable baby hippo and its parents in their exhibit. It’s sure to be a popular attraction for both locals and tourists alike.

    Let’s help welcome this precious new addition to the Virginia Zoo family by coming up with a fitting name for the baby pygmy hippo. Who knows, your suggestion could be the one that sticks!
