The internet is falling in love with Moo Deng, a baby Pygmy Hippo that has become a global sensation for her adorable looks and charming antics (like biting her zookeeper’s knee!)
What you might not know, however, is that Pygmy Hippos, like Moo Deng, are some of the most endangered species in the world. It is estimated that fewer than 2,500 are left in the wild due to hunting and habitat loss.
While Moo Deng is safe and being taken care of by zookeepers, other Pygmy Hippos are not so lucky. In the wild, they are losing their forest and swamp habitats due to logging, mining, and agricultural expansion - putting them closer to humans and more likely to be hunted.
We cannot underestimate the impact that climate change is having on endangered species like Moo Deng’s brothers and sisters in the wild. Because of all of these factors, they are closer than ever to going extinct. (Imagine not having a hippo like Moo Deng left in the world… it would be terrible!)
