The Hippopotamus is a large African ungulate. It is an adoptable animal in all three Wildlife Park games.

Description[]

The Hippopotamus, also known as the Common Hippopotamus or simply Hippo, is a large mammal native to sub-Saharan African rivers, lakes and mangrove swamps. "Hippopotamus" comes from the Greek word "River Horse", but hippos are in fact more closely related to whales and dolphins. They are easily recognizable by their barrel-shaped torsos, wide mouths and large canines. The hippopotamus is one of the largest animals in Africa, with males weighing up to 1500kg (3310lb). Despite its fierce appearance, hippos are herbivores, coming out onto land to graze on grasses; their large teeth are used only for fighting and defense.

Hippos are semi-aquatic in nature and spend most of the day in water or mud to avoid the heat of the African sun. Mating and birthing also occurs underwater, but despite this, hippos are poor swimmers and tend to stay in shallow waters. Although largely solitary, hippos will gather in loose groups, or pods, when there is enough water. The hippopotamus is stated to be one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.

Wildlife Park[]

The Hippopotamus is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park and is available in the base game. Their daily needs and enrichments include hay, sprouts, pellets (base game only), water, swimming, and tussling.

Wildlife Park 2[]

Latin name: Hippopotamus Amphibus. The hippo prefers to stay in water than on land. In the water it glides elegantly and weightlessly over the ground. At night it grazes the land. Propeller movements of its tail allow the hippo to spread its droppings in various directions, thus marking its range. This species is not endangered.
