hippos
Wild hippopotamuses live in central Africa. They're
All about big and fat. They have small eyes, small ears and
short legs. They also have very big teeth! Adult
hippos are usually three to four metres long, and
by Sam Wilson they run very fast!
Hippos often sleep in water during the day because the water is cool. They usually come
out of the water at night and eat. They only eat plants. They can eat up to 40 kg of
grass in one night, and they sometimes travel up to 10 km to find food, Hippos are very
dangerous. Every year they kill hundreds of people!
