The hippopotamus is a massive, semi-aquatic herbivore, known to inhabit warm rivers and lakes. They live in large pods and spend most of their time in the water, only coming ashore at night to graze. Despite their vegetarian diet, hippopotami are incredibly aggressive. The vicious tusks of the hippopotamus are long and sharpen every time they close their mouths.
