Hippopotamuses

Pet hippos eat vegetables, hay and grass. And wild hippos prefer soft grasses and shrubs growing close to the ground, such as ferns. But they should both eat about 150 pounds of food a day.

Their tails are not curly but they do have the interesting habit of spinning them like a propeller while they defecate underwater. Presumably, this is a benefit to them and their habitat by spreading the droppings more effectively.

A group can either be called "hippopotami" or "hippopotamuses."

The hippo's eyes are located at the side of the head, this is to spot prey from coming behined with a glimpse of an eye. Also they help with seeing in front aswell, so they can spot other prey in front.

Hope this answer helps :}

They submerge their bodies into pools of water.

Some can get quite big but they should never get to the size of an average hedgehog. On a balanced diet they are usually just bigger than two flat hands next to eachother.

1 - 1.5 pounds (0.5 - 0.7 kilos)

height: 6-8 in (15 - 20 cm)

A hippo's foot has four toes, and there is webbing between them.

hippopotamuses can run verry fast on land, and even in the water i have sat there once and taken a long hour vidio of them run they are fast when they are not tired and dehidrated.

some people say there not but they truly are you will believe it when you see it!!

yes.

Although hippos are herbivores, they will defend themselves if threatened. If a hippo feels threatened by a human, it will attack in order to survive because every animal has a survival instinct.

A rhino of course don't be a rogelio

Not on land, maybe in water. However, as far as starting time is concerned, a crocodile has a much faster reaction "start" time than a horse does.

becaause of its horns, their very valueble and would make you very rich

it is grey and has a big jaw there eyes are at the side of its head it hase a tail

hippos come from what you call mating. mating is when a male and female have to mate togther.
A hippo communicates with others of it's species by a combination of bellows, and actions - body language also plays a role as with most animals.

Hippos live in a climate that does not have much of a climate change. They don't need to go or do anything special during the winter.

(Also I am sure that if someday the areas they live in turn really cold, their fat will keep them warm.)

No. To begin with, pygmy hippos are endangered, and therefore may not be kept as pets.

Secondly, pygmy hippos have very specialised needs which the average person would not be able to meet.

the hippo is one of the most dangerous animals in the modern world . Each day on average thirty-three deaths occur due to the sudden reactions of a hippos short temper. All of these deaths are mostly caused in the African region.

The hippopotamus (Scientific name: Hippopotamus amphibius) is a species found in mostly the Nile in Africa or rivers in Africa. They have large habitat ranges. Hippopotami reside in large groups. They eat graas and fallen fruit. On rare occasions, they eat small or injured animals.

Males travel as far as needed when looking for their own territory. Both females and males will travel if there is a drought and are unable to locate water. No telling how far that could be but they will keep going until they die if they must. How far would you travel for water if you were in a desert?

Hippos roll in the mud for many different reasons. One reason is to get cool. The climate where they live is very harsh and arid. Another reason may be to congregate with other hippos sort of like a town square. They may do this for safety.

Indigenous is anything that occurs naturally in nature. Indigenous can be used when it refers to a native human, organism, or plant.

It depends; there are two species of hippo, and one of them, the pygmy hippo, is indeed a jungle animal. The common hippo, though, is more of a savannah animal.

Both species spend most of their time in the water though, so maybe you could call them river animals instead!

There are three different types of rhinos found in Asia. One is from Java, another is from Sumatra, and the other one lives in India and Bangladesh.
