The zoo recorded a healthy weight of 15 pounds, just two and a half per cent of a full-grown pygmy hippo’s 600-pound body weight. The birth is important for the conservation of the species.
Dwarf pufferfish have dark, iridescent patches on their flanks and dorsal surfaces. The maximum documented size is 3.5 cm (1.4 in) total length (TL), [9] with individuals typically reaching less than 2.5 cm (0.98 in) TL, [5] making dwarf pufferfish one of the smallest pufferfish in the world.

Little-studied as an individual species, it is known mainly for being the world's smallest parrot, [5] at 11.5 g (0.41 oz) and 8.6 cm (3.4 in). [4] However, the average weight of six adults was surprisingly high at 14 g (0.49 oz), being slightly higher than two other pygmy parrots, the Geelvink and yellow-capped, both of which, nonetheless, have slightly longer total lengths.
