Hippo facts:
The scientific name of a Hippo is Hippopotamus amphibius. Hippos are large semi-aquatic mammals, which means the live both on land and in water. They have large barrel-shaped body, short legs, a short tail and an enormous head! Hippos have greyish to muddy-brown skin, which fades to a pale pink colour underneath. They are considered the second largest land animal on Earth. Males can grow up to 3.5m longĀ andĀ 1.5m tall, and can weigh up 3,200kg.
To stay cool in the blistering sun, hippos spend most of their day cooling off in rivers and lakes. Despite their enormous size, hippos are great swimmers and can hold theirĀ breath for up to five minutes underwater. When completely submerged, their ears and nostrils fold shut to keep water out. In the wild hippos live for aroundĀ 40 years. In captivity, they tend to live longer and may reach up toĀ 50 years old.
