Best Answer

The Hippopotamus is a placental mammal, in that its young gestate inside of the female, are are born after they have developed enough to survive outside of their mother.

Marsupials females have a pouch within which they carry their young through early infancy. Monotreme females do not gestate their young within their bodies, but instead lay eggs like birds or reptiles.
