I found this on the Internet - - 1961 Cleveland OH Zoo Nigerian Pygmy Hippo, Zoo Dir Dr Goss Press Photo According to the British taxonomist Mike Grayson, writing in Zoo Grapevine, the identification of the Nigerian pygmy hippo is based on only 4 skulls in the British Museum. They were sent from Nigeria just before WWII by one Ian Robert Penicuick Heslop, a British colonial administrator and naturalist. Subsequent analysis resulted in the taxonomic conclusion that the skulls of the Nigerian animals were so different from those of the familiar pygmy hippo of Liberia (known to all of us) as to warrant designating it a separate species - - thus the scientific name heslopi after the man who sent in the skulls. If animal pictured above is really heslopi then it was one of the rarest zoo animals ever seen. All of this needs further investigation.
