Hippopotamuses

a hippo moves by it's legs

By closing the hippos ears and nostrils, the adult hippo can stay under water for as long as six minutes.

One animal that comes readily to my mind is 'PIG':-)

After elephants, Nile hippos are the largest land animals, weighing up to eight or nine thousand pounds. Unlike elephants, hippos spend their days in the water, which might make it seem silly to ask: can hippos swim?

Given their size, one might answer "no" because hippos seem too heavy to swim. One would be wrong. The hippo's fat makes it buoyant so it can float very well. On the other hand, if you said "no" you are quite right. Hippos do not really swim. Their method of travel is very simple: they walk, or bound, if underwater.

Like many people, hippos enjoy resting in cool water and can let themselves float or sink by controlling their breathing and body position. Once sunk, hippos don't swim back up to the surface: they walk along the bottom till they reach shallow water. Unlike people, hippos can hold their breath for minutes at a time.

Far from the lumbering giants they seem to be, hippos can trot, jog and run at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour, with spurts as fast as 30 miles per hour. Although poachers hunt hippos and sell their teeth as an alternative to elephant ivory, you still might see one, if you're lucky enough to travel to sub-Saharan Africa. But, don't get too close: they are more agile than they appear.

yes they kill the second most amount of people in the affrican safari

an elephant is the largest and heviest land animal so an elephant

carnivore they do at meat but do eat herbs plants and so on...

No. Usually, hippos live in family groups, usually a single mature bull with several cows and calves. It's actually closer to hippos being polygamists, like certain sects of Mormons. If you want to draw a human parallel.

A pygmy hippo's habitat, like is grassy and near waterways, always.

Less than one. A female hippo will not start ovulating until about 17 months after getting pregnant.

Hippo's are the third heaviest animal on the planet, the only two above them are the Asian Elephant, and the African Elephant. Despite their great size, they can run extremely fast, 20 - 35 miles per hour. That is faster than the fastest man on earth. Rhino's can go up to 40 mph, and Elephant's up to 25 mph.

No. Hippos can be found in the wild on the continent of Africa. They may be found in swampy areas, lakes, rivers, and streams.

Yes the hippo is a mammal. It gives birth to live young, has mammary glands and hair.
Yes ,because it give s birth to its babies,and nurses them with its own milk.

well hippos can hit around 35 where elephants cn do 40 to 47 depending on the size and sex of the animal but a hippo can hit top speed in waters and when they do they can take down a full grown elephant

Most of the people coming close to those creatures die or lose a limb if they survive. In other words avoiding them is the best.

No, they are different species.
Yes. The mammoths and elephants related though the mammoths are closely related to Asian elephants than to African elephants.

SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATIONCOMMON NAME:hippopotamus, hippoKINGDOM:AnimaliaPHYLUM:ChordataCLASS:MammaliaORDER:ArtiodactylaFAMILY:HippopotamidaeGENUS SPECIES:Hippopotamus (horse, a river) amphibius(on both sides, living)

a hippo is a herbivore in other words they don't eat meat it may seem like they hunt food under water but they don't they just stay under the water to stay cool from the boiling African sun. they don't eat meat but if a hippo get's up on the wrong side for the bed and you get to close they could kill you. At night when everything has cooled down they come out and eat grass.

Hippos talk to each other by opening there mouth and like screaming out like a little voice. The males talk louder then the females because the females have soft voices.

snort, wiggle ears, and open its 4 foot mouth to show its teeth.

The name for an animal that eats ALL MEAT is a carnivore. An animal that eats BOTH PLANTS AND MEAT is a ominavore and the name for an animal that eats ALL PLANTS is a herbivore. Hope that answered your question! PS: i am not completely sure of the spelling

$4,100 is the average retail price for a Hippo in America, it would cost nearly $20,000 to feed and shelter it.

The Crocodile Could Eat The Hippo But The Hippo Could Get The Crocodile Away With TheBreath...... I believe they would both win.

------

I personally think it depends on the size and age of both. ----- A hippo would win because it could put a foot ontop of the crocodile's mouth and then the crocodile wouldn't be able to move its mouth.

Rhinos are gray mammals that have one or two horns on their heads. Hippos are brownish mammals that have no horns and like water.
Well hippos are one of the most dangerous animals, hippos spend most of there time in water and rhinos on land. Rhinos also have a couple of horns and can run very fast.

They're skin turns pink when they're in the sun and get really hot and it acts as a sunscreen. The pink skin also acts as an antibiotic so that when they return to the feces filled water covered in cuts after fighting, they don't get infections.
