Hippopotamus creutzburgi
''Hippopotamus creutzburgi'' is an extinct species of hippopotamus which lived on the island of Crete. ''Hippopopotamus'' colonized Crete probably 800,000 years ago and lived there during the Middle Pleistocene.〔van der Geer A., Lyras G., de Vos J., Dermitzakis M., (2010): ''Evolution of Island Mammals: adaptation and Extinction of Placental Mammals on Islands''. Oxford: Wiley〕 Bones of ''H. creutzburgi'' were found by Dorothea Bate on the Katharo plateau, in eastern Crete, in the 1920s.〔Evans, Arthur: ''The Early Nilotic, Libyan and Egyptian Relations with Minoan Crete'' in ''The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland'' Vol. 55, Jul. - Dec., 1925 (Jul. - Dec., 1925), pp. 199-228〕 A similar species, the Cyprus dwarf hippopotamus (''Hippopotamus minor'') lived on the island of Cyprus until the Holocene. It was at least 20% smaller than either species of Cretan hippo.
