Description: |
One of the largest animals of Africa, the Hippopotamus can be found in groups of up to fifteen or so resting in lakes or rivers with nothing but their nostrils, eyes, and ears above water. At night they come out and feed on grass, various plants, and any fruit they can find on the ground. Their mouths are filled with many teeth, the canines forming tusks. Their legs are short and stocky, ending in a foot with four webbed toes. In spite of their weight and size, they are excellent swimmers and divers. |
