The pygmy hippopotamus, Hexaprotodon liberensis, was feared to be extinct until recently. At best, is remains very threatened by poaching and deforestation.
Almost never seen in the wild, this smaller cousin of the more familiar hippo is solitary, nocturnal and resides in dense West African rain forests.
This individual was recently caught by a camera trap in Liberia.
