International Hippo Day

I didn’t know there is an international day for Hippo. Everyday I learn something new. Isn’t is fantastic?

Our son enjoys picking hippo on his world map. I’m pretty sure is going to become one of his favorite wildlife animals.

Originated in Africa, it has become a vulnerable species in 2006 because of habitat loss, hunting and of course, hist meat and ivory teeth. Is one of the largest land mammals. An adult weights 2000kg!
