No, the word hippo (and hippopotamus) is a common noun, a word for any hippo anywhere.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, thing, or a title; for example:

  • Augustine of Hippo (St. Augustine), 354-430 AD
  • Hippo Drive, Navarre, OH or Hippo Road, North Fort Myers, FL
  • Club Hippo, West Eager Street, Baltimore, MD
  • Hippo Handcrafted Products, Port Townsend, WA
  • "Hippo Mystery Deadly Hunter", a novel by Ann Evans
