Pygmy hippos, shy and elusive forest inhabitants, are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting.

The Toronto Zoo participates in and contributes to the management and support of pygmy hippos through research, husbandry, management, and education. Working with other accredited facilities, the Toronto Zoo helps maintain the genetic health and population numbers of pygmy hippos in captivity and in the wild.

By adopting a Toronto Zoo animal, your support will help to safeguard the future of species, like the pygmy hippo, for future generations. Help us to preserve and protect our planet, and the incredible wildlife that call it home.
