Sleeping Hippo
The hippopotamus can weigh half a ton and it is the third-largest living land mammal, after elephants and white rhinos.
The hippo's proportions reflect its sedentary, amphibious existence. Its plump and bulky body is set on short, stumpy legs, with each foot having four toes.
The name hippopotamus comes from the Greek "hippos," meaning horse. These animals were once called "river horses" but the hippo is more closely related to the pig than the horse.
