Because they are too dense to float, hippos use their short legs to walk or run along the bottom of rivers. Hippos love water, which is why the Greeks gave them the name “river horse.”

Tucker demonstrates why Nile hippos are also known as river horses! Hippos walk along the bottom and propel themselves to the surface for air.

Hippos use their mouths to play, show affection, give warnings, & explore their world. Open-mouth interactions = normal hippo behavior!

Daisy and Jonesy are our real-life Hungry Hungry Hippos! 🦛🍉

These two girls weigh over 3,000 lbs each, so it’s important for them to get enough nutrients during the day. That’s upwards of 100 lbs of food a day for these hungry hippos!
