It seems incredible, but there exist hippopotami that . do not exceed 80 . Inches in height. For a long while nobody bellevtd that there were any pygmy hippos in Liberia. The natives Insisted that the Hippopotamus lived deep in the forests; but that was another reason why explorers and hunters shook their heads In incredulity. , The. hippopotamus lives along the rivers, they said, and this talk about pygmies of this species la ' the forests Is nonsense. Nevertheless a pygmy hippo was ' caught as far back as 1873, and brought from Africa to the zoological gardens In Dublin. It might have con- vlnced the world, only It arrived In i , dying condition, and perished before It could be exhibited. After that, peo ple took to doubting It again, and considered theone recorded specimen as a freak." But Carl Hagenback, the famous animal man, made up his mind; at last, thst the pygmy hippo" could be, and should be, Introduced to man.' He sent an Intrepid hunter,' Schom- burgk, after ttrand SchombnrgkV after ' spending a year and a half In the reappeared with three pygmy beasts, two of which were at once brought to the New Tork. zoo' sneU-placon exhibition.
