Pygmy hippo
A pygmy hippo in London Zoo
This week, we hear how a rare and endangered species of animal, the pygmy hippopotamus (or
'hippo' for short), has been found in Liberia.
This week's question:
In addition to the threat of deforestation, the pygmy hippo also faces the
threat of 'poaching'. Which of these definitions of the verb 'to poach' are NOT true?
a) 'to catch and kill animals without permission on someone else's land'
b) 'to take something that belongs to someone else, usually an idea, and use it for yourself'
c) 'to persuade someone who works for someone else to come and work for you'
