And now it's time for some more Amazing Animals. Number 202, the amazing hippopotamus!
The greeks made up that word and it means "river horse." Well, they got the river part, right?
But a horse? Please, how common!
Found in these parts of Africa, you'll soon see they're nothing like a horse. Yeah, giddy up, horse! ?
I'm far more handsome! Exactly, in fact, they're more closely related to whales!
Right, what? ! Hippos spend most of their time in the water.
Pass the soap! But at night, sneak out onto land to eat lots of grass.
Maybe that's where they get the horse part from? Neigh, neigh. . .
It's because we gallop fast! Woah, okay then!
The hippo's ears, eyes, and nostrils are very well placed for floating about in rivers. Yes?
