The Hippopotamus is a large, semi-aquatic mammal found in rivers, lakes, and swamps throughout Africa. Despite their bulky appearance, hippos are excellent swimmers and spend much of their time submerged in water to keep cool. They are herbivorous, primarily feeding on grasses, and are known for their aggressive behaviour and territorial nature.
