Meet Haggis: Scotland's Adorable Pygmy Hippo Stealing Hearts
Haggis, a baby pygmy hippo born at Edinburgh Zoo, is drawing attention to the endangered species, following the viral fame of Moo Deng, another baby pygmy hippo in Thailand. Born to parents Otto and Gloria, Haggis is not yet on public display as the zoo monitors her early development. Pygmy hippos, native to West Africa, face threats like habitat loss and hunting, with only about 2,500 left in the wild. The birth of Haggis highlights the importance of conservation efforts for these rare animals.
