It is very rare pygmy hippo, called Monifa, born in 2008 in Toronga Zoo.
Pygmy hippo aren't closely related to their giant cousins. They have two subspecies. One living in Liberia/Sierra Leone/Cote d'Ivore and one in Nigeria. They live in the wild in several small colonies.
They are very shy and nocturnal, so they wouldn't make great pets.
