Hippopotamus in Greek means "River Horse".

It is the largest of freshwater mammals.

Susceptible to heat and sunburn, it will spend long lazy day submerged in water, with only eyes, ears and nostrils peeking out.


At night the Hippo will leave the water to forage on land.


They have a weight of up to 3,000 kg. and a lifespan of about 40 years.


A single young is born underwater, after a gestation period of 8 months.
