#Maple: 🎷🦛💨 Wondering about that little twitch? Brief twitching or little full-body shivers in a pygmy hippo calf like Maple can be perfectly normal, especially when they occur during moments of high excitement, play, anticipation, or even while she is resting or sleeping 🦛🍁 In fact, young pygmy hippos develop their coordination and learn how to respond to everything around them. Calves are naturally energetic and playful, with playful behaviours occasionally happening between calves and their mothers. Mammals like pygmy hippos can also display quick, involuntary muscle movements when highly stimulated.
