Wildlife Trends in Liberia and Sierra Leone P
117 Wildlife Trends in Liberia and Sierra Leone P. T. Robinson In an eight-month field study of the pygmy hippopotamus, an endangered Red Book species, the author was able to make some assessment of the status of other animals in Liberia and Sierra Leone and shows how the danger is increasing for most of them. Chimpanzees in particular are exported in large numbers, and in order to catch the young animals whole family groups may be eliminated. West African countries have made little effort to conserve their unique types of vegetation and wildlife. Instead the tendency has been to establish parks and reserves in grassland areas that are similar to those of East Africa. But Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Ivory Coast all have areas of mature tropical rain forests where reserves could be established. The high forests of the tropics are of great value, culturally, scientifically and economically, and it is important to conserve their unique types of fauna and flora. Rare and Uncommon Species The pygmy hippopotamus Choeropsis liberiensis is one of West Africa's unique species, dependent on forest vegetation, which is decreasing seriously. Nowhere is it abundant in the four countries where it occurs: Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Ivory Coast! Comparisons with its past distribution show that populations today are much more localised; for example, the disrupted distribution pattern across Liberia is related to the major motor-road arteries, which form avenues of human settlement. Increased population, hunting, agriculture, forestry and mining, combined with the hippo's non-gregarious nature, low repro- ductive rate and apparent susceptibility to hunting and adverse land use, have resulted in a steady decrease in its range.

THE PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMUS (Choeropsis Liberiensis)
THE PYGMY HIPPOPOTAMUS (Choeropsis liberiensis) An Enigmatic Oxymoron How a not-so-small species presents a sizeable conservation challenge Gabriella L Flacke DVM, MVSc This thesis is submitted to fulfill the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Animal Biology 2017 © jem barratt It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. –Theodore Roosevelt DEDICATION Dedicated to the memory of loved ones who accompanied me on this journey in spirit – Phyllis and Ben Johnson; Stephen Johnson; Hildegard and Gerhard Flacke Caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Traveler, there is no path; the path must be forged as you walk. –Antonio Machado iii SUMMARY The pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) is endangered in the wild and has been exhibited in zoological collections since the early 1900s; however, it remains one of the most little known and poorly understood large mammal species in the world.

The pygmy hippo under managed care is a spontaneous ovulator and a non-seasonally polyestrous species. Enzyme immunoassays that cross-react with pregnanediol can detect pregnancy from mid- gestation onward. Estrogen metabolite peaks were also observed during pregnancy and lactation, suggesting that follicular development occurs during both reproductive states. 2 Corresponding author: Gabriella L. Flacke, DVM, MVSc, PhD; Department of Animal Health; Zoo Miami; 12400 SW 152nd Street; Miami, Florida; USA; [email protected] Abstract The pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) is endangered in the wild and very little is known about its reproductive biology.

The revision of the Hip- popotamidae initiated here deals with the last 8 Myr of African and Asian species. The ﬁrst thorough cladistic analysis of the family is presented here. The outcome of this analysis, including 37 morphological characters coded for 15 extant and fossil taxa, as well as non-coded features of mandibular morphology, was used to reconstruct broad outlines of hippo phylogeny. Distinct lineages within the paraphyletic genus Hexaprotodon are recognized and char- acterized. In order to harmonize taxonomy and phylogeny, two new genera are created. The genus name Choeropsis is re-validated for the extant Liberian hippo. The nomen Hexaprotodon is restricted to the fossil lineage mostly known in Asia, but also including at least one African species.

Pygmy Hippopotamus
WILD PIG, PECCARY, Pygmy hippopotamus ... 100% hippo, in size SMALL! AND HIPPO TAG Why exhibit pygmy hippos? • Surprise visitors with a miniature version of one of the most recognizable mammals! Pygmy hippos are #28 on the list of EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct, Globally Endangered) mammals - the river hippo is their only close relative, making their endangered status even more critical. • Provide ex-situ support for a species in desperate need of conservation measures (including captive breeding, as per the IUCN). • In a financial crunch? A pygmy hippo is one-tenth the weight of a river hippo, and requires significantly less space and fewer resources. • Captivate visitors with underwater viewing windows, which best show off the grace and amphibious adaptations of this species. • Use these charismatic animals for interactive tours and keeper talks to connect with guests.
