Evidenced by the pygmy hippopotamus’ limited distribution across western Africa, not much is known about the hippo’s ecology and behaviors. The hippo is semi-aquatic, preferring freshwater river and swamp habitats next to dense forests (8). In order to counteract the daytime heat, much of their time is spent in water, otherwise their thin skin would dehydrate. They can usually be found in various burrows or hollows at the edge of a river, areas specifically designed for the purpose of sleeping (1)
