Demography of the European population Figure 1 shows the census data for the European population of common hippopotamus as it has developed during the last 40 years from 1969 to 2008. The population has increased from 118 individuals in 1969 up to 222 in 2004. However, since 2004 the population slightly decreased to 207 individuals in 2008. During 2008 only, 8 hippopotamus were born and reared and 8 others died. The projection of population size in the coming 20 years, based on data from last 20 years, is shown in figure 2. Thus, the current population can be considered as being stable. Nevertheless, since several zoos plan to stop holding this species, new holders will be necessary to keep the population stable in the coming years. Figure 1. Census of the common hippopotamus population in European zoos in 1969 – 2008. Figure 2. Projection of the common hippopotamus population in European zoos in the coming twenty years. Based on data of the last 20 years. The basic demographic parameters (Age-specific fecundity, age-specific mortality, agespecific survivorship, and reproductive value) for the European population of common 5
hippopotamus are illustrated in figures 3 - 6. All these figures are based on data from the period 1958 – 2008. The figures contain original data and lines were neither smoothed nor corrected. All the figures in this chapter were constructed using PM 2000 version 1.213. Figure 3. Age-specific fecundity (Mx) for the European population of common hippopotamus. Figure 4. Reproductive value (Vx) for the European population of common hippopotamus. Figure 5. Age-specific mortality - Q(x) for the European population of common hippopotamus. 6
