Move over Valentine's Day, it's time for World Hippo Day!

There are only two species of hippo left on Earth, though there were once many more. These incredibly-unique and adorably deadly species are in serious need of conservation attention!

If you want to learn more about the pygmy Hippo, the smaller and lesser-known cousin of the famous river hippo, you can check out my article on them below!

🎄Explore the Origami Tree during your next trip to the Museum! It’s produced in partnership with OrigamiUsa and is a holiday tradition that dates back to the 1970s. 🦃 The Museum is closed on Thanksgiving Day. But the Friday and Saturday after the holiday, we’ll have extended hours! On November 29 and 30, the Museum will open early, at 9 am. Plan your visit.

“It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils…How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!— Great God!”
