Certainly! Hippos are large, mostly herbivorous mammals native to sub-Saharan Africa and are known for their massive size, with males weighing between 3,000 to 4,000 pounds. Despite their bulky appearance, they can run up to 19 miles per hour on land. Hippos spend most of their time in water to keep cool, as their skin is sensitive to sunburn; they secrete a natural sunscreen-like substance. Interestingly, they are considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa due to their territorial nature and aggressive behavior.
