Made by Emma.D Cheched by Amy.A Hippo Five facts about hippos

You can find the large hippo in East Africa. Rivers and lakes are the best place for hippos to live and graze on the grass. Humans are the hippos predators because they like hunting them. The hippos keep themselves safe by having a dominant male protect their territory. The male is at least 20 years old and can protect his territory for up to 10 years. The hippo’s teeth are very sharp and its skin is very tough. This would also help keep it safe. Hippos like to graze in the same spot beside the water.
