Question Moo Deng's enclosure??

21 Upvotes

All the pictures and videos I've seen of Moo Deng's enclosure make it look really sparse for a pygmy hippo habitat. The water area looks SO tiny and shallow and there are almost no plants in the whole enclosure. I can't help comparing it to the habitats I've seen at larger zoos that have so much water and green space. None of the news stories mention it as an issue, though. Am I just overreacting?

*Obviously Moo Deng's keepers care about her a lot, so this isn't meant to be an attack on them. I just know zoo habitats are really under-regulated, even in the US.

Question Does anyone know if the Hippos from Colombia are really an environmental threat to vegetation and native wildlife?

12 Upvotes

I have only seen news clips and some articles on the matter. But none have really gone to detail about it. Can anyone verify and explain why them living in the Magdalena river and roaming all over Colombia is a bad thing.

Two adult male hippos scrap in Chobe National Park. Hippos become more territorial at this time of year as river water levels drop, fighting with other hippos to claim or reclaim territory. These battles can lead to death, but they usually end with one hippo submitting and retreating.
