**Malagasy Pygmy Hippo**
The Malagasy pygmy hippo is one of three hippo species endemic to Madagascar that recently went extinct, inhabiting the highland forest regions. Its skin was dark green or dark brown, earning it the name "Malagasy green hippo." While resembling a smaller version of the continental African hippo, it possessed relatively longer legs and neck. Its eye sockets and nostrils were not as prominent as those of other hippos, meaning it couldn't see with its eyes or breathe through its nose while at the water's surface. This suggests they were better suited for walking on land than spending time in water.
Scholars believe the Malagasy pygmy hippo went extinct within the last five hundred years. Fossil evidence indicates that humans hunted them for food after arriving in Madagascar, which was likely the primary cause of their extinction.
**IUCN Status: Extinct (EX)**

- Listing Summary
- Though we may not see them with our own eyes, these creatures once existed. They thrived, magnificent and beautiful in their time, only to be lost due to human actions. If we fail to learn from the past and allow all the world's wild animals to vanish, leaving only livestock within fences and cages, how desolate will our planet become?
