All about the hippo

The hippo is one of the mammals in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in rivers and lakes in Africa, and it eats grass, lots of it at night. It grunts and bellows. This page is a good fit for ages 3 to 10 (Preschool to 5th Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the hippo one of the mammals?

Yes. Mammals have fur or hair, are warm blooded and feed their babies milk.
