Here are some fun facts to share with your little ones as they color:
- Hippos are large mammals that can weigh up to 4,500 kg (9,900 lbs). They are known for their barrel-shaped bodies, short legs, and big jaws filled with sharp teeth.
- Although they spend most of their time in the water, hippos can hold their breath for up to five minutes at a time. They are excellent swimmers and can even run on the bottom of a river or lake.
- Hippos are social animals that live in groups called bloats or pods. In these groups, they engage in a variety of behaviors, such as vocalizing, rolling in the mud to stay cool, and defending their territories.
- Although they may look slow and lumbering, hippos are actually one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. They are known to be territorial and aggressive, and have been known to attack humans who venture too close to their territory.
- Despite their fearsome reputation, hippos are also symbols of love and protection in many cultures around the world. In some traditions, they are associated with motherhood and family, making them a perfect choice for a Valentine’s Day activity that celebrates the power of love and family.
