The name hippopotamus comes from 2 Greek words that mean river horse.
These animals are aggressive and not afraid of people.

A hippopotamus is born underwater. The mother helps her baby to the surface to breathe.
Hippos bear single young. (Maybe this one in the picture had a friend over for a visit -O -O )
Calves weigh 55 to 120 pounds and nurse underwater.
Mother hippos protect them from lions, leopards, crocodiles and male hippos.
Sometimes calves will rest on their mother’s back.
A baby hippo can eat grass in 3 weeks, but nurses for a year.
