About the African Hippopotamus
The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), often called the hippo, is one of Africa’s largest and most dangerous mammals. They reside in rivers, lakes, and wetlands across sub-Saharan Africa. The hippo needs deep water during the day and nearby grasslands for nighttime feeding. Countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, and South Africa have healthy hippo populations.
Adult hippos are massive animals weighing 3,000-8,000 pounds and measuring 11-17 feet long. They have barrel-shaped bodies, short legs, huge heads, and enormous mouths with canine teeth that can grow over 20 inches long. Their skin is thick and hairless, ranging from gray to brown.
Hippos spend most of their day in water to stay cool and protect their skin from the sun. At night, they leave the water to graze on grass for 4-5 hours. They live in groups called pods of 10-30 animals. Despite looking slow, hippos can run 30 mph on land and are considered one of Africa’s most dangerous animals.
Hippos eat mainly grass, consuming up to 80 pounds per night. They have four-chambered stomachs like cows to help digest all that plant material. Sometimes they eat fruit or other vegetation, but meat-eating is very rare.
