Toronto zoo announces birth of pygmy hippo calf, third for mother Kindia
Reported byGuardian Environment ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Toronto Zoo's 20-year-old pygmy hippo Kindia successfully gave birth to a female calf on August 4, 2026, marking her third offspring and contributing to conservation of a species with only 2,000–3,000 individuals remaining in the wild.
Survival rates for pygmy hippo calves are challenging; the zoo will monitor the newborn closely during critical early days.
