There are two species of hippopotamus, the Large Hippo and the Pygmy Hippo.

A full-grown Large Hippo or Common Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius) can weigh as much as 4 tons and grow to a size of 4 meters in length and a height of 1.4 meters (measured up to its shoulder).

A full-grown, appropriately-named Pygmy Hippo (Choeropsis liberiensis) may weigh as much as 270 kg and grow to a size of 1.5 meters in length and a height of 0.8 meters (again, measured up to its shoulder).

A male hippo can weight 7000 lbs, or 3200 kilo. and it is 11 ft long (3.3 m) and 5 ft tall (1.5 m)

Hippos can grow as big as thirteen feet long and five feet tall. They generally weigh around 2,600 pounds although big males can grow as large as 5,500 pounds.
