Pygmy Hippo

The Zoo has pygmy hippos along the Hippo Trail in the San Diego Zoo’s Lost Forest. They may share a piece of browse with the Wolf’s guenons, monkeys that share their habitat near the top of Hippo Trail in the Zoo’s Lost Forest, munching on one end while a guenon nibbles on the other. And our pygmy hippos don’t seem to mind when a guenon roommate hops on their back for a ride! It’s all great fun for the monkeys, pygmy hippos, and guests alike. At night, the guenons go into their own area, and the pygmy hippos get free rein of the habitat, since they are largely nocturnal and enjoy roaming and resting under the stars.
