Another CSOTD (Creative Something of the Day) to share:
Some hippo facts (courtesy of The Toronto Zoo):
- their jaws can open to 150 degrees
- their skin exudes “blood sweat”, droplets of moisture containing a red pigment
- babies weigh 27-50kg at birth (ouch)
- they spend two thirds of the day in water but don’t eat aquatic plants
- they are hunted extensively for their ivory teeth and for their hide (boo)
