The
hippopotamus (or hippo) is a very large mammal found in Africa. Its name comes
from a Greek word meaning "water horse". They spend their days in
water to stay cool and then graze on the land in the evenings.
Hippos
have large barrel shaped bodies and mouths that open extremely wide with large
canine tusks. They can run rather quickly given their size but only for short
distances. Hippos are known to be very aggressive and have consequently made a
list of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
