Meet Harry the hippo, a baby pygmy so small the average person could carry him around with ease.
Harry, named after Britain's Prince Harry, was born last week at the Cango Wildlife Ranch in South Africa, the Star reports. His handlers are being forced to hand-rear Harry after his mother Hilda refused to feed him. Keeping Harry healthy is a priority, as there are only an estimated 3,000 pygmy hippos left in the wild.

slimy, leatherback dinosaur. He's wet, not slimy. Their skin must be kept moist.

Full-grown hippos kill more humans each year than lions & leopards combined. Fact.

Thanks for the precious photo, nuconvert. Years ago in San Diego, I had a relationship with a sweet pygmy rhino who was the biggest flirt. Batted her eyes at everyone. She definitely knew she was a girrrrrrl :) I lived in SD, went to the zoo often, and never missed a chance to exchange smiles.

There's an eight-photo slide show. Harry is alright. Now, hands for voting Al Sharpton off the island. . .

This poor woman had to have massive reconstructive rhinoplasty after the vicious mauling.

It's a pygmy hippo. I don't know that they're particularly homicidal.
