DescriptionDescription:Pygmy Hippopotamus is the mini version of the common or river hippo. It has a rounder and narrower head, a greenish-black, smooth layer of skin that secretes a pink fluid (blood sweat), which gives it a shiny look. It also acts like a sunscreen to prevent dehydration.Description:Quaggas were a subspecies of zebras, but are now extinct due to hunting by European settlers in the late 1800's. Like Okapis, they had partial zebra markings. They had the same striping at the head and neck and part way down their middles. The stripes faded around the middle of the animal, and disappeared all together at the rear. The last of its kind wasdied in 1883 at Amsterdam Zoo.
