Interesting facts about hippos:
Hippopotamuses, or Hippopotamus amphibius, are large mammals living both on land and in aquatic areas. Their imposing body resembles a barrel with massive legs and a head. Their skin ranges from gray-brown to pale pink and they are recognized as the second largest land mammal on our planet. Adult males can reach a length of 3.5 meters, a height of 1.5 meters and a maximum weight close to 3.2 tonnes. In their natural habitat, hippos spend a lot of time in water to avoid the intense heat; despite their large build, they move easily in the water and can hold their breath for about five minutes below the surface. When submerged, their ears and nostrils close tightly. A hippopotamus typically lives around 40 years in the wild, although in captivity their life expectancy can exceed 50 years.
