Introduction

Which animal comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘Africa’?
Lion, elephant, hyena? If you did think of those animals, you’re
surely missing on something big. Let me give you a clue. Seeing this
animal for the first time, one may think it is fat and clumsy. But no,
it’s not the rhino we’re talking about. It’s the hippopotamus!
Join us as we try to explore the world of hippos like you’ve never
known before. We provide you with an insight into the life of a hippo
describing every aspect of them from characteristics to feeding habits,
behaviors, communication methods and many species both living and
extinct. What’s more? We have even got you a summary of some
fun facts about hippos that would raise your eyebrows for sure!
