The first land mammal shown to have reached the African wetlands is the hippopotamus. Fossil evidence suggests that hippos originated from a common ancestor shared with cetaceans (whales and dolphins) and adapted to life in aquatic environments. Their presence in African wetlands highlights their unique evolutionary adaptations, allowing them to thrive in both terrestrial and semi-aquatic habitats.
