Hippopotamus amphibius

Field Notes
Description:
Immense; nearly naked skin. Typically occurs in groups.
Habitat:
Riverine. This individual was part of a group of about 30 hippos in an estuary.
Notes:
The group was fairly inactive. Young hippos tended to be in the center of the group, probably to provide protection from large crocodiles that also occur here.
