🩛Hallo Brötchen! Berlin Zoo welcomes Baby Pygmy Hippo.

Meet Brötchen. The pygmy hippopotamus [Choeropsis liberiensis] was born on May 9th at Germany’s Zoo Berlin, weighing in at 13 pounds. “Brötchen” means “breadroll,” in German, and the zoo’s new member is rapidly becoming everyone’s favorite carb. The baby girl is making headlines and gracing the zoo’s Facebook cover photo. What’s more, its name was revealed in a social media post on June 10 that has now accumulated over 6,000 likes.

⁉A number of Brötchen’s internet appearances involve water. In fact, “water plays an incredibly important role for pygmy hippos,” the zoo explains. “Bathing helps care for their sensitive skin while also allowing the little one to slowly and comfortably get used to the water.”⁉

The pygmy sea horse is an inch-long fish that lives on corals in the Pacific. The corals are venomous, yet the sea horse can safely wrap its tail around a branch to feed on tiny animals passing.
The #seahorse also has knobs on its body to match the corals. Instead of the typical sea horse snout, the #pygmy sea horse has a face like a pug; its snout resembles yet another coral knob #Oceans #MarineLide
