The Monaco Zoo is home to a single common hippopotamus called Pollux who was born in 1984 and has lived in the zoo since 1989. It is stated that they were unable to find him a new home, as to why he is still remaining in Monaco. A new enclosure for him was created in 2015. (21/07/2024)
Common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius); it stayed by the glass for a long times, cheeks floppy like this and making raspberry noises... Is that usual?
