If anyone is ever feeling so inspired an entire book has been written about the Cyprus Dwarf Hippo. At $118 I'm not going to buy it on Amazon, but I might look for it on a future trip to the libes if I remember. --JayHenry 19:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We want to add it to the reference section?--Mr Fink 02:27, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have read some reviews on that book. It is filled with contradictions. The book states that humans are probably the cause of extinction of the hippo. In the same book Sandra Olsen discussed her study, she looked at 16,000 hippo bones in search for butchering marks. She did not find any and concluded that the hippos died in a natural way and not a human one. Quite strange I think.--Basvanhuut 09:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
