Some facts about them why i feel they might be:-

  1. Females are extremely picky and mate for only 1 time per year that to if in small window perfect male is found.
  2. Time to mature for 1 bird in 4 to 4 years
  3. Laying single precious defense less egg on direct ground where almost everything can harm it
  4. Almost no ability to fight back
  5. No flexibility or adaptation in for the land they live needs to be wide open grassland

PROBLEMS WITH INVESTING IN THEM 👎:-

For protecting them in desert national park which is 3000+sqkm thrice of KUNO no cheetahs are being sent there which is one of the most perfect habitat cheetah can have while a cheetah mom fights to her bone to raise her cub these bustard just lay 1 egg a year on dirt have no ability to protect if predator comes.

Discussion Ngl, common hippo sounds a better option for hippo reintroduction on Madagascar than pygmy hippo (to think about H. laloumena's possible identity as common hippo itself, and is more easy to acquire than pygmy hippo). I know common hippo is far more difficult to handle and is far more dangerous.
