Large hippo
The Hippopotamus is a large, plant-eating African mammal that spends most of its time partially or totally submerged in still water. At night, they leave the water to feed, sometimes traveling up to 5 km (3 miles) in search of grass. Though they are bulky animals, hippos can run more than 40 km per hpur (25 miles per hour) for short sprints. previous image | Uganda index | next image [image 30 of 72] |
