Hey Corbett,
please go through with this website blog.
THE HIPPOPOTAMUS IS THE 3rd LARGEST MAMMAL.
Along the Tarangire- manyara ecosystem, including the Lake manyara, this particular mammal is available. The hippopotaamus(Hippopotamus Amphibious), is the third largest living land mammal, after elephants and white Rhinos. The size of the Hippo is 13 feet long and 5 feet tall, and the weight is up to 7, 000 pounds. Its life span is 50 years, where the habitat is in the rivers, swamps and protected areas(found in the lake manyara throughout the year). Ther are two species of hippo remain. The Hppo spend most of each day in the water close to shore. They have soft bodies, thick hides(skin), four webbed toes, and small ears, eyes and nostrils.
The Conservancy is taking a great care in the hippo conservation, restoring and maintaining anatural flow of river/lake water.
Thank you for your kindness.
Boniface Ngimojino.

Yes, fantastic picture, really beautiful! I have seen documentaries, where hippos have to battle for precious space in drying up river beds, the sun scorching their skin. Terribly distressing to see. Thank you for helping them.
