Hippos do not do that sort of thing, they are not domesticated. They are one of the most dangerous mammals in the world

It actually has tusks that it stabs the animal with ! ;)

It depends on the type of hippo. Unless the hippo gets sick.

The physical characteristics of hippos include protruding eyes, long curved front teeth, thick, brownish-gray skin, 4 webbed toes, Short legs, and a 5 feet height. Physical characteristics of a hippo include thick skin, four toes on each foot, bulky body and short, stumpy legs.

The hippo adapted to an aquatic environment by developing small ears, eyes and nostrils set at the top of the head, along with thick skin and webbed-feet. Hippos move easily in water by swimming in deeper water or walking on the bottom of shallow pools.

ANSWER TO THE QUESTION IS:

Basically it is in a dirty pond and in a forest.

They adapt do it to wash. But more with the answer, A hippo's habitat is like were you find crocodiles however crocodiles don't live with hippo's. They spend most of their time asleep in the smelly dirty pond, bathing, or under the water.

Hippos drink water from the rivers where they live. Hippos are almost completely herbivorous, and eat grasses, as well as fallen fruit and a small amount of aquatic plants. The eat about 150 lb per day, and take four or five hours each night to do that.

Assuming that you are referring to the male/female parts, they are the same as any other mammal. The female has Ovaries, a Uterus, and a Vagina. The male has Testes, and a Penis. When the Female Hippo comes into 'heat', the male and female engage in intercourse. If the male's sperm fertilizes the female's egg, then she can become pregnant. Gestation takes 8 months.

Through its mouth like you

Female Hippos attain sexual maturity at around 6 years of age. Males reach sexual maturity at around 7.5 years of age. However, males don't get to mate until they are much larger and older. Hippos have a gestation period of around 8 months after which a single hippo calf is born. Baby hippos are born under water and weigh around 25 to 45 kilograms in weight (60 to 110 pounds). They are around 125 cms (50 inches) in length at birth.

The red sweat is a natural antibiotic sunscreen to protect them from the heat and sun.

1-2 acres

the same way you know how to eat, and sleep and run if something starts to chase you. Survival instinct. It cant be explained. Either that or there are a bunch of lil hippos in swim shorts with 25m badges sewn on them

whats the difference between common river and pygmy hippopotamus

A pride of lions is possibly the only real threat when the Hippo is grazing on land, but this is rare. The Hippo is possibly the most feared animal on land in the animal kingdom and has no real natural predators. Even crocodiles that share the same waterway give them a wide berth as they are often killed by hippos. Also, Hippos will gave way to avoid a confrontation with a large bull elephant, and sometimes vice versa, but apart from a threat or bluff toward each other, no real fight issue has ever been documented. Elephants, Hippos and Rhinos have been known to cohabitate, on rare occassions, in the same areas without issue..

Here's my bets.

On dry land, if I were to choose between the three, one on one, I'd go for the Rhino over the the Elephant and Hippo coz it's extremely dumb and therefore doesn't know when it's beaten, and also because it has less chance of being injured due to its' hard armour like protection.

In the shallows, the Hippo and Elephant would be 50/50. Rhino Zero.

In slightly deeper water, the Hippo will win every time.

One On One, which would you choose in these 3 different environments, and why?

________________

I would go with the elephant on dry land over the hippo or the rhino. As a matter of fact, the elephant is intolerant of the hippo on land and has been known to kill them. On the (photo) safaris I've been on, I've never seen the opposite.

Hexaprotodon Liberiensis or Pygmy Hippopotamus

50 years or a little more

i know that they cannot hold the breath for long time. i guess is around 19-25 minutes Additional Info: A mature Hippo normally will hold their breath for an average of 5 minutes. But when forced, or pushed a mature Hippo can hold their breath for as much as 30 minutes, researchers believe it could be longer, but have no proof.
They can stay underwater on one breath for 30 minutes at a time.
hippos can stay under water for fifteen minutes they can close their nostrils they are fast swimmers but slow at walking on land

Hippopotamus are not extinct - they are alive and well and living in Africa

The hippopotamus is a mammal and uses its lungs to breathe. Because its nostrils are located on top, it can still breathe while remaining mostly underwater. When fully submerged, the hippopotamus can hold its breath for a maximum of five minutes.

The hippo would win by holding the bull's head and dragging it to drown it, using its monstrous jaws and a huge weight advantage. The bull would not do much with its horns/hooves/weight since the hippo has thick hide to protect itself from horns/hooves/claws/teeth. If a bull and a hippo fought, the hippo would win no matter what.

a hippo will defend its self by charging ar using is powerful jaws to ram a anouther hippo or boat. the hippo will only charge when feels threatend and/or to protect her baby. the hippo will also play fight. younger hippos will do it to practice untile he is old enouh to mate. the alfa hippo will also defend his herd from anouther hippo if neccesarie. that is why you see alot of hippos with scares.

yes hippos can float

hope that helps :)
