    Welcome to JungleDragon @RDodd. I see you requested the creation of a new species record. There is no need to do that, you should only request a manual species creation when you cannot find it in the search field automatically. Posted 11 years ago

The Hippopotamus

The hippopotamus, or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae. The name comes from the ancient Greek for "river horse". After the elephant and rhinoceros, the hippopotamus is the third-largest type of land mammal and the heaviest extant artiodactyl.
