Baby Pygmy Hippos

I just discovered pygmy hippos and I think that is just great.

The pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis) is a small hippopotamid native to the forests and swamps of West Africa, primarily in Liberia and small populations in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Ivory Coast. The pygmy hippo is reclusive and nocturnal. It is one of only two extant species in the Hippopotamidae family, the other being its much larger cousin the common hippopotamus.

The pygmy hippopotamus displays many terrestrial adaptations, but like its larger cousin, it is semi-aquatic and relies on proximity to water to keep its skin moisturized and its body temperature cool. Behaviors such as mating and giving birth may occur in water or on land. The pygmy hippo is herbivorous, feeding on ferns, broad-leaved plants, grasses and fruits it finds in the forests.

A rare nocturnal forest creature, the pygmy hippopotamus is a difficult animal to study in the wild. Pygmy hippos were unknown outside of West Africa until the 19th century. Introduced to zoos in the early 20th century, they breed well in captivity and the vast majority of research is derived from zoo specimens. The survival of the species in captivity is more assured than in the wild; the World Conservation Union estimates that there are fewer than 3,000 pygmy hippos remaining in the wild.[1] Pygmy hippos are primarily threatened by loss of habitat, as forests are logged and converted to farm land, and are also vulnerable to poaching, hunting, natural predators and war.

Pygmy hippos can live like 40 years and can get up to 600 lbs! They are endangered.  If you want to save pygmy hippos you can visit the pygmy hippo foundation

Ugh, still trying to figure out how to embed YouTube videos from the blogger app.

Turn your backpack into a solar USB charging station/WiFi hotspot

I recently read an article on lifehacker about DIY solar power.
I'm not savvy enough with this whole blogging thing to reblog the whole article like I would like, but I am savvy enough with electronics to build some of this projects. I'm particularly interested in building the hotspot backpack. I could build one like in the picture, or pretty much anyway anyone wants it. You can keep a WiFi hotspot in it or use it simply for charging USB devices. I could even add LED safety lights that would never need batteries.
Let me know if you would like me to build one of these backpacks or any of the other projects. The first 2 people that orders one will get it for only the price of the materials plus shipping. Or build them yourself!!
