Well the baby hippos may look harmless and cute but the adults apparently despite being social creatures they are very territorial even with baby hippos in the pod it is said that sometimes hippos will gang up on a calf but due to their overwhelming strength they’re hard to study up close so people rely on theories there is at least 2 theories on why hippos would do such a thing 1 is most likely the bull would attack a baby hippo thinking it would 1 day challenge him for domination the other theory is most likely due to overpopulation because if there are too many hippos during the dry season aka drought the hippos are forced to huddle together in gooey and gross poo smelling mud until either the rain comes back or until the pond dries up completely and have to go find another pond to live in

The older sister calf has led such a harsh life and she's not even full grown, so her temperament is definitely the result of that. The mother left her far too soon to go have another baby and she had to fend for herself when she was a small calf, now she's the most scarred up hippo there and got rejected by her mother, probably for the final time.

This includes hippos, whales, dolphins amongst others. The common ancestor between humans and whales is thought to be a rodent that lived about 140 million years ago.

We had a hippo at our local zoo for the better part of 15 years at the time I saw her. I was only 7 at the time and her name was Gloria. The staff was handing out cake because it was Gloria's birthday and I actually got to stand right next to her. I almost thought she was going to break those skinny bars apart and charge right through everyone but she stayed chill the whole time. I wanted to pet her but understood that touching an animal that large at the size I was was just asking for trouble. Gloria passed away some time ago but when I ask about her some of the staffers ask in return how I was able to remember her all this time. I like animals, humans are ehhh.

DID YOU KNOW?: Hippos can hold their breath underwater for up to five minutes while awake and up to 30 minutes when fully submerged. Hippos can also automatically surface to breathe while sleeping underwater without waking up.
