Very interesting way of displaying the two species... The entire pygmy hippo enclosure is elevated above the Nile hippo enclosure.

What are Taipei Zoo's 19 hippos name??
So far I have 16 names for them:
Bambam
Feichang
Feichung
Meihsiou
Feifei
Nanemei
Nalichung
Nalan
Nai
Nanachung
Nali
Nahsiao
Natziu
Naichung
Natzuchung
What are the remaining 3 hippos names??
 
19 hippos? Wow, that must be a world record for zoos. Exhibit concept is certainly interesting and original. (Not sure how much I like it, but at least it is different).

According to ISIS, Cairo has 23 hippos. That is the only one that exceeds 19.
 
I'd love to see how big this exhibit is to accomodate that many hippos. Including their indoor holding space.

Can I ask the obvious question, what's to stop them falling off??
there appears to be a low wall along the edge (note how the top of the division slopes on either side and how items seem to come up from behind it, such as the large block to the right of the tree and the rockwork to the left of the shot)

I see that but there doesn't seem to be a wall at the point where the hippo's are standing......
