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.

If you know the species, you can identify it from the function next to the photo (or maybe below if you use a smaller device). This is an important part of JungleDragon - not only see the animals but also learn more about them. Posted 11 years ago
