Pygmy hippo

The pygmy hippo's eyes, nose and ears are on the top of its head, so it can be almost completely under water and still see, smell and hear what is going on around it.

Pygmy hippos spend more time on land than common hippos. They are noisy feeders and can be heard eating up to 50 metres away.
