Left, Baby pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis) held by Assistant Headkeeper 

 Ralph Norris. The baby is known as "Gumdrop XII" as it is the twelfth pygmy 

 hippopotamus to be born in the Zoo. Right, Young Bornean small-toothed civet 

 (Arctogalidia trivirgata). Length of adults from tip of nose to base of tail, 17 to 21 

 inches. The three continuous black stripes on the back from neck to hips distinguish 

 them from the palm civets (Paradoxurus), of somewhat similar appearance. (Photo-
