Episode 46: Happy Happy Hippo

The Hippopotamus is considered the second heaviest land mammal (7000 lb/3200 kg), behind elephants (13,000 lb/6000 kg). There is debate if it is the second or third largest land mammal since the rhinoceros (5000 lb/2300 kg) can stand taller at 6 feet (1.8 m) compared to a hippo at 5 feet (1.5 m) but not weigh quite as much. The ancient Greeks called the Hippopotamus the ‘River Horse.’ The name Hippopotamus can be broken down to hippo, meaning horse in ancient Greek, and potamus, meaning river in ancient Greek. These semi-aquatic mammals originated in the rivers, streams and lakes of the African Continent. Show notes can be found HERE Please consider visiting our Patreon page HERE.
