Monifa was born about three weeks ago and weighs six kilograms.
The endangered hippos come from the lowland tropical forests of western Africa.
Senior zoo keeper Renae Zammit says the birth of Monifa is extremely important.
"There's less than 3,000 of them in the wild. Their population is declining all the time with wars and deforestation, pollution and all that sort of stuff," she said.
