    Welcome to JungleDragon, Michael! I see you already figured out how to identify species, well done. As a small improvement, it is helpful to include location details in either the title or description, that makes a spotting complete.

    Either way, as a warm welcome to the community, this photo is promoted to the homepage.     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.
