GODDARD, Kan. (KAKE) - Tanganyika Wildlife Park has announced the birth of its newest addition, a pygmy hippo names Link.

The park said Link was born on September 21 to parents Rosie and Pluto.

"His parents Posie and Pluto, along with our amazing staff, are taking great care of him and say that he is incredibly sassy already," Tanganyika said on Facebook. "He fights his hay and thinks he’s independent and doesn’t need his mom - until he gets about 8ft away and changes his mind!"

Link weighed 15 pounds at birth and 31 pounds on October 21. He's expected to grow to about 500 pounds. He can be seen at the park now until the end of the season on November 14.
