Hippo's live in central, southern, and western Africa. The word hippopotamus comes from two Greek words meaning river horse. In Malawi, hippo's are called mvuu. They can stay under water for as long as six minutes. In some places in Malawi, hippo's come at night and eat people's gardens. Therefore, most Malawian farmers dislike the hippo. We found a story about hippo's if you would like to read it. Here, farmers along the Shire River show a park ranger evidence of hippo damage to their gardens. It is illegal for Malawians to kill wild animals. If a wild animal is causing damage to crops, a farmer may contact the Office of Parks and Wildlife to investigate.

In the Miocene (about 20 million years ago) they developed from a group (the Antracothers) that looked like today?s pigs. The first hippopotami lived in the forest and were similar to the present dwarf hippopotamus with a weight up to 275 kilogrammes. Some hippopotami adapted to a life in water and by that, the size increased, like in the living hippopotamus with a weight of 3.2 tons. Today, the hippopotami only live in Africa, but as recent as during the late Quaternary (about 75 000 years ago) they also lived in Europe and Asia.

However because of its short legs, it stands no higher than 1.5 to 1.65 m (5 to 5.4 ft). It generally travels in herds of about 10 to 15 animals. Hippopotamuses are sometimes called Hippos for short. Remains of fossil hippopotamuses have been found in European and Indian deposits of the Pliocene epoch and Quarternary period. The common brown or grey hippopotamus is one of the largest four-footed animals. There are only 2 species of hippopotamus. Both species are amphibious. The common adult hippopotamus has tusk-like canine teeth in the lower jaw, which are valued as ivory. The hippopotamuses range has shrunk considerably due to human intervention.

Then whoosh, another surfaces, and another, and another. One by one, about 15 hippopotamuses rise to the surface of the calm water—some with a great deal of snorting and hissing as they exhale, others more quietly. At the surface, they each take a breath of fresh air. The group of hippos is led by one large male. The other members are females, their young, and a few young adult males. The leader of the group keeps control of his mating territory by fighting off rivals. When a male hippo in the group challenges him, the leader opens his enormous mouth, revealing long canines Read More Go to Site How Do You Say "Hippo" in...
