The hippopotamus, a common resident of the African savannah's waterways, is known for its grand size and weight. An adult hippopotamus can grow up to 5 meters in length and stand 1.5 meters tall at the shoulder, weighing between 1,500 to 3,200 kilograms. Despite their bulky appearance and terrestrial grazing habits, hippos are well-adapted to aquatic life, with physical adaptations such as webbed feet and eyes positioned on top of their heads for submerged vision. Their social structures revolve around herds or bloats, often seen lounging in rivers during the day to keep cool under the African sun.
