About the Hippo

The hippopotamus is a huge, round mammal that lives in the rivers and lakes of Africa. Its name comes from old Greek words meaning river horse, and it spends the hot day mostly in the water to stay cool. A hippo can shut its nose and ears and hold its breath to walk along the bottom of a river. Trace the wide body on this printable for a safari theme.
