Language debate: Official languages of Nigeria according to Wikipedia: English, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba
I am left to assume the name comes from one of the latter three.

Otherwise...HOW CUTE!!! Though if there were enough of them someone might try to make this the next Vietnamese Pot Belly Pig craze.

I logged in just to comment on that - so thank you for beating me to the punch! There's no such language as 'Nigerian' HuffPost! We expect better from you!

Although, they're little, did you check out the size of the mouth and the teeth on the adult pygmy; I don't know if I would trust it.

There is a more dangerous animal in Africa -- the mosquito.

Very cute but certainly not as cute as the one-pound deer Rupert
