HIPPOPOTAMUS
Historically, hippos have been found throughout all of sub-Saharan
Africa. The hippopotamus is typically a slate brown color to muddy
brown, with purplish hues often visible. A massive animal, it measures
1500mm in height at the shoulder and has a length of 4310-5160 mm, of
which about 560mm is tail. The eyes and nostrils protrude, allowing the
animal to see and breathe while otherwise submerged in the water.
Hippopotamus is a valued food source for many of the native people of
Africa. The meat is highly prized, as is the large quantity of fat
obtained from the kill of a single animal. The hippos teeth are
characterized by a thick outer coating of enamel and the fact that they
are denser and of finer grain than elephant ivory. Hippos teeth yield
superior ivory, and the hide is also considered valuable. Hippopotamus
frequently raid agricultural crops. They can inflict a great deal of
damage, and inhibit local economies. They are also highly aggressive
creatures and have little fear of humans. They are considered among the
most dangerous African animals.
