The hippopotamus, also called the hippo; is a large, mostly herbivorous, semi-aqqatic mamal; native to sub-Saharan Africa
The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse"
The hippopotamus is the third largest type of land mammal
Hippos are recognisable by their barrel-shaped torsos, wide-opening mouths revealing large canine tusks, nearly hairless bodies, columnar legs and large size
Adults average 1,500 kg (3,310 lb) for males and 1,300 kg (2,870 lb) for females
Despite its stocky shape and short legs, it is capable of running 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances
Hippos inhabit rivers, lakes, and mangrove swamps; where territorial males preside over a stretch of river and groups of five to thirty females and young hippos
During the day, they remain cool by staying in the water or mud; reproduction and childbirth both occur in water
The hippo is among the most dangerous animals in the world due to its highly aggressive and unpredictable nature
L - Lion
P - Panda
R - Rhino
Z - Zebra
