Pygmy hippos enjoy plush new pad
New Into Africa exhibit to open at London Zoo

London Zoo's pygmy hippos have upped sticks and moved to a brand new enclosure, complete with heated pools and specially designed gardens.

Keepers say the new enclosure is "nothing short of a day at the spa". It forms part of the zoo's new Into Africa exhibit which opens on April 5.

Lifelong companions Thug and Nicky will join London's giraffes, zebras and African hunting dogs in the new exhibit. Their new home will be unveiled tomorrow (3).

Pygmy hippos are classed as endangered on the IUCN Red List, under constant threat from poaching and habitat loss in the wild. Conservationists estimate less than 3,000 individuals remain in the wild.
