hippopotamus
- A hippopotamus can open its mouth wide enough to fit a 4 foot tall child inside
- Hippopotami kill more people in Africa when compared to crocodiles
- During the warm summer days, hippos secrete a reddish, oily fluid, called pink sweat, which acts as a skin conditioner to keep their skin moist
- Despite resembling pigs, or even a fat deer, the hippopotami’s closest living relatives are actually whales and porpoises
