The moment of a baby pygmy hippopotamus born at Melbourne Zoo

Mother Petre gave birth succesfully to the male calf on 25 May 2015, the first to be born at Melbourne Zoo for 33 years. An adult pygmy hippopotamus typically reaches 70-80 cm tall and weighs around 250 kg, about a quarter of the size of a full-sized hippo. Baby pygmy hippos typically weigh between 3-6 kg, and should be able to swim from birth.
