=The large Hippo is found in East Africa. There are about 15 – 20 different types of animals that stay with the Hippo’s together. The hippo doesn’t really eat that much it prefers to drink more. The Hippo is more protected than most animals. But the hippos are getting hunted by people. The hippo hides while it’s eating so the hunters don’t find them. The Greek word for hippo is horse. The hippopotamus lay on their bellies in the water for most of the day. The Hippo is closer to the pig than the horse. The Hippo can not survive on land for very long when it is hot. The Hippo walks along the bottom of lakes.=
