long without pygmy hippopotamuses, for a young pair bred at the National Zoological Park was obtained from the Catskill Game Farm on Oct. 13, 1953. The Washington stock was based on a male acquired in 1927, and a female recieved in 1929, reinforced by a female brought from Liberia in 1940 by the Smithsonian-Firestone Expedition, headed by William M. Mann. A brief history of the animals, together with their remarkable breeding record, is given by Reed (1960). From 1931 to 1954 the first two animals, known as "Billy" and "Hannah", produced 15 calves, of which 7 were reared or at least lived more than one year. During the later years Billy was also paired with the 1940 female, "Matilda", who gave birth to 8 young between 1943 and 1956, six being reared. These twenty three births were distributed as follows,: January, one; February, three; March, three; April, three; May, two; June, three; July, one; August, two; October, two; December, three; Billy died on Oct. 11, 1955, and Hanna on March 6, 1958, each after approximately 28 years. Matilda and two of her daughters were still living in Washington at the time of Dr. Reed's report. The pair recieved here on Oct. 13, 1953 were the offspring of Billy and Hannah, the male having been born on June 13, 1951, the female on March 12, 1950. Although only two and three years old when they arrived, they refused to live together and were assigned to separate but adjoining quarters." A grandchild of Billy's was born at the Bronx Zoo on March 15, 1960. Two more were born by 1964. By the way William Mann was an entomologist. Ants were his specialty. I phoned the Omaha Zoo yesterday to ask for Billy's studbook number(s). He may have different numbers in the international and regional studbooks.

first female produced over 24 years totalled 16 of which 6 survived to maturity. 6 of 8 of the second female surrvived to maturity. In 1972 9 of Billy's offspring were still living in zoos around the world. Billy died in 1955. This left the zoo with the 2nd. wild caught female acquired in 1940, and two of her female offspring named Susan and Millie. The 2nd male acquired in 1960 reached sexual maturity in 1962 and sired 19 calves by 1972, of which 12 were still living in 1972. By 1940 the zoo's knowledge of the care and breeding of pygmy hippos had improved so that the survival rate of the calves had increased. The two which did not survive to maturity, which were produced by the 2nd female, lived for a year. Between 1943 and 1972 43 pygmy hippos were born at the National Zoo. 21 were still living in 1972. A number of zoos and game farms sent female pygmy hippos to the National Zoo for breeding and all were successfully impregnated. A baby named Epsilon was born on 19, Feb., 1964, and she also gave birth at the National Zoo. They don't say who the father was, but I suspect it was her father. I was unable to get an e-mail address for the regional studbook keeper, to ask for Billy's number. I can phone the Toronto Zoo later and ask. They must have a copy of the studbook. In 1972 the National Zoo had four pygmy hippos which had been born there.

number is 26. His offspring were sent to Dallas, Fort Worth, Busch Gardens in Tampa, Sydney, Ferndale (this is the International Animal Exchange in Ferndale, Michigan, but the animals don't actually go there they could be sent anywhere), Caversham (this is a zoo in Perth, Australia), Catskills, Havana, and Hanover. Did you ever see the pygmy hippo on "King Of The Hill", which was at a fair in Texas? Billy's studbook number might be worth adding to the article.

I was trying to find the name of the pygmy hippo EEP coordinator (I suspect the person is at Bristol Zoo) and I found this: Gippoliti, Spartaco & Leoni, Alfiero "The Pygmy Hippopotamus At Rome Zoo", International Zoo News Vol. 46/6 (No. 295) Sept. 1999 www.zoonews.ws/IZN/295/IZN-295.html - 191k -

There's also a "Group" of 2 in Paris Zoo. Maybe

The first article was the source of the information about two of the three female pygmy hippos at the National Zoo being Billy's daughters. The male which Eisenhower recieved was not sexually mature until 1962 according to that same article. It might be interesting to include Billy's studbook number.
1207:
very well, at least to a first time reader like myself. Rather than jumping immediately in to edification on the subject , it's really important to define the article's subject point blank for the reader. If you don't mind, I'd like to take a hack at this myself. Unusual is pretty subjective anyway,
942:
Thanks for the message. I made these notes today at the Carleton University Library in Ottawa. Billy arrived at the zoo in June of 1927. Two years later the zoo acquired a female and in 1940 a second female, wild caught. I think you have this already I'll look again in a minute. The offspring of the

Very well-written for the most part, but I have a coupe questions/comments. First, are the commas a part of the direct quotes in Parenting troubles and Life as a stud? If not, they should go outside the quotation marks. Second, and more importantly, the first sentence of the article is interesting,
1066:
Thanks for the message. I agree it would be too much information for the article, but I thought you might find it interesting so I put it in the discussion section. Besides I did'nt want to start rewriting the article. The pygmy hippo studbook keeper at Omaha Zoo sent me an e-mail. Billy's studbook

I don't believe that Billy died in 1956. He died on October 11, 1955. Lee S. Crandall, of the Bronx Zoo, wrote this in his book: "Management of Wild Mammals In Captivity", The University of Chicago Press, 1964,: "Following our loss of our last representative of the original importation, we were not

Oh great, thanks! I've always wanted to look at one of those studbooks, but unfortunately my library doesn't have any. I added that source back into the article. I think it'd be great to mention Billy's studbook number as that will make it easier for other serious zoological researchers to find
1016:
Wow, that's great information, I added the date of death and the number of children. I didn't give the month-by-month break down as I figure that's probably more information than most people are interested in! I saw you asked above about changing the genus name. Here's the story: pygmy hippos

Feel free to take a stab at that first sentence. I was trying to avoid saying "Billy the pygmy hippo is a pygmy hippo who" and got stumped. I agree that it's awkward as written, and we can't start with an awkward sentence. I also agree that "unusual" is potentially problematic. I fixed the

This article is on the short side, but I think that's appropriate for an article about a famous zoo animal. As you can hopefully see from the above sections, we've done a pretty thorough job researching. Because of the time period, there are no public domain pictures of Billy that I know of,

and for the most part this became accepted. Then , in 2005 Jean-Renaud Boisserie, a paleontologist at Berkeley, did an extremely detailed review of fossil hippos using some techniques that weren't available in 1977 and concluded that the pygmy hippopotamus was actually different from the

Neither of these things concern me in the least. GA-class was meant for articles too short to ever be FA, and it's about broadness, not mere length. Also, lack of an image is completely understandable considering the subject matter. I'll post a full review shortly.
