  1. family hippopotamidae

    Family Hippopotamidae refers to a group of large, herbivorous, semi-aquatic mammals known for their barrel-shaped bodies, large mouths, and nearly hairless bodies. This family comprises only two extant species: the hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) and the pygmy hippopotamus (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). These creatures live in bodies of freshwater like rivers and lakes in Sub-Saharan Africa, and spend most of their time submerged to keep their skin moist and cool. They are recognized as one of the largest terrestrial mammals and are characterized by their large canine teeth which continue to grow throughout their life.
