No, the elephant is not a hippopotamus. The hippo is what is called an even-toed ungulate, an Artiodactyla. And, believe it or not, it's related to pigs, camels, deer, goats, cattle and the like. And it gets better! Elephants are mammals (like hippos) of the clade Afrotheria, and animals in this group include the moles, the shrews, the tenrecs, the aardvarks, the hyraxes and the manatees.
