Tiny, rare hippo born in England

Winnie, the new three-week-old baby pygmy hippo walks towards the pool in her enclosure at the pygmy hippo exhibit at Bristol Zoo Gardens in Bristol, England, Feb. 26, 2014.

Bristol Zoo Gardens is part of an international captive breeding program for the pygmy hippo, which is threatened in the wild, where it is thought less than 2,000 of these animals still survive.

In Liberia, destruction of forests surrounding the Sapo National Park by logging companies is damaging one of the few remaining strongholds for the pygmy hippo.
