      I don't ever remember seeing a Pygmy Hippo exhibit with underwater viewing before

      @Bubalus There is a number of them around, Berlin, Leipzig and Gaiazoo are the ones that immediately come to mind for Europe. On the other side of the pond there are also some as well as in Singapore Zoo.

      It is a nice feature as many Pygmy Hippos will use it when it is large enough and it is very interesting to see them walk around

      In the States, San Diego, Lincoln Park, Pittsburgh, Franklin Park, Louisville and maybe Omaha all have pygmy hippo exhibits with underwater viewing.

      @lintworm I didn't realise there was so many about like this. Seen plenty of common hippo underwater but I like the idea of seeing Pygmy's underwater
