1. Hippos have very thick skin. They have a few hairs on their ears and on their noses, and on their tips of their tails. Hippos sleep in the daytime, but they can see in the dark, and they feed at night.
2. In the hottest part of the day, hippos rest in the water. They like to stay close together.!
3. Bull [or mail] hippos often fight each other. They open their mouths to show their big teeth. If one bull hippo does not move away, there will be a noisy fight. sometimes a hippo is killed.
4. When two big bulls are fighting, smaller hippos can get hurt, too
