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.

In zoology this is a fat layer between the skin and muscle of whales and other cetaceans from which oil is made. Bears do store energy as fat deposits to survive the winter

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.

With good care, they can live 12-20 years. However, they may not be productive.

Hippos are between the most fearless animals- actually they are only afraid of lion prides and elephants. A lion pride can take down any animal, except from a big bull elephant. Elephants move hippos out of their way, whether they meet on land or in the river. There are videos in youtube with elephants and hippos, where it is shown that elephants make hippos run away. One of these videos shows a single bull elephant that gets in the river and separates a whole herd of hippos in two, as it passes through the hippos and all of them move aside without daring to attack. And this is impressive because male hippos are extremely territorial and aggressive. Hippos are not afraid of crocodiles (actually they often kill crocodiles). Cape buffalo also runs from a hippo, when a hippo opens its giant mouth and charges straight forward at the buffalo. Even a white rhino backs off when a hippo decides to charge at it, even if they meet in land face to face. For all these interactions described between hippos and these animals (crocodile, cape buffalo, white rhino and more) there are related videos in youtube that prove them. Also, a hippo is not afraid of snakes, as its thick skin protects it from the snake. Generally speaking, a hippo is fearless due to its powerful physical structure. Enormous body size, enormous mouth, (equipped with big and sharp teeth that are made of the hardest enamel in the world, ranking 6-7 on the Mohs scale of hardness- hippo lower canines are said to be able to deflect a bullet!), and extremely thick skin.

Generally speaking, no. Up until very recently, monkeys were held to be herbivores, and the majority of them are still believed to be so. A wildlife documentary by the English naturalist David Attenborough in 2006, revealed that some colonies of chimpanzees living in jungle areas can be predatory, and kill smaller monkeys for food- however, it is not known how typical this is of chimp or ape behaviour. The general understanding remains that monkeys are herbivores, and seldom eat meat. Even if the Attenborough documentary revealed a carnivorous trait hitherto unknown amongst chimps, there is no way that any apes would take on an animal so much larger and faster than themselves, such as a giraffe.

Yes, hippos sweat. When the sweat is fresh, it is colorless. then mucus gradually turns red orange, then eventually turn into solid, brown gunk.

The red-colored secretion scatters light, preventing the hippo from getting sunburned. See the related link for more about hippo sweat.

Don't purchase products made by rhinos. Support zoos who have them.

The adult hippo's only real enemy (other than man) is his pool mate. They bite, maim, and kill each other. The bulls fight over females in breeding season and quarrel over water space at all times, especially in dry season. When seen yawning, a hippo may actually be threatening another hippo or just telling him beet it you shrimp.

The rhino is bigger when it comes to length and height at the shoulder.The hippo is bigger when it comes to weight.I had already asked people about this question many times and more people said they are almost equal in size.An elephant is bigger than both.The rhino's maximuim weight is four tons and so is it is the hippo.

The Hippopotamus is the black marketeer of the river, they can be found scattered in all the bars in Africa, wearing sunglasses and carrying big bags. They sneak up on you and their opening lines vary from 'Alright my son' to 'Can I interest you in' followed by ' two for a tenner, buy four get one free' or 'Just fell off the back of a ship'.

The Hippopotamus rarely gets arrested, I mean would you arrest one, I know I wouldn't. And what ever you do, do not ever call them Hippos, not unless you have a suicide wish.

The youngsters have invented a new game, sneaking up on boats, and trying to shout boo in the ear of the nearest human, this has led to many varying disagreements, and a few deaths, not of the youngster, but of humans.

Lately, Hippopotamus have started becoming time-share sellers, this is proving to be very lucrative for them, as most people are afraid to say no.

Hippos spend the entire day in the water. The pigment ( or lack of) in the their skin would sun burn rapidly. Therefore, staying in the water protects them from the sun. They move onto land once the sun goes down to feed in surrounding areas, sometimes traveling several miles to do so. In the early morning twilight, they return to the body of water they call home.

Hippopotamuses are located in Central and South Africa and near the Nile river. They are considered one of the most deadly animals in the world.

Good nutrition is the key. Drinking milk, eating marshmallows, and even anything with caffeine can help your breathing! Vitamans A, E, and C also work to lower down, so to speak, the inflammation of the esophagus.

Add all sorts of vegetables and fruits to your diet, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and what we would all rather avoid- brussel sprouts.

Drinking tea with honey and lemon works as well. Hope this helps!
