Hippos live in Central, West, and South Africa in lakes or rivers.
Mst hippos spend more than 3/4 their life in water?
Most wild hippos live about 45 years?!?!?!? (in captivity, its 49)
They are about 3.3 to 3.5 meters/metres long.
They are about 1.4 meters/metres tall.
They range in weight from 1.6 tons/tonnes to 3.2 tons/tonnes if male, and about 1.4 tons/tonnes if female.
This is http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/ 's description of a hippo.
Hippos are fat, heavy-bodied animals, with short, stumpy legs. They have an enormous head with huge jaws filled with tusk-like canine and incisor teeth. They have a gape of 150 degrees, compared to 45 in humans. Hippos have a short, tufted tail. Hippos are almost hairless. Their skin is grey-brown to blue-black on the upper surface, and pinkish below. The eyes, ears and nostrils are all positioned on top of the head so that they can be almost totally submerged, but still be able to use all of their senses. When diving, the ears and nostrils can be closed. They also have webbed toes.
I agree with that description. Have a Hippo-ful day!
