It is a semi-aquatic animal that lives in rivers and lakes, where adult territorial males with groups of 5 to 30 females and young people control an area of ​​the river. During the day they rest in the water or in the mud, and both the copulation and the birth of this animal occur in the water. At dusk they become more active and come out to close. Although hippos rest together in water, grass is a solitary activity, and they are not territories on land.

It is the third terrestrial animal by weight (between 1 ½ and 3 tons), behind the white rhinoceros (1 ½ to 3½ tons) and the two elephant genera (3 to 9 tons).

It is one of the most aggressive creatures in the world and is often considered the most ferocious animal in Africa. There are approximately 125,000 to 150,000 hippos in all of sub-Saharan Africa; Zambia (40,000) and Tanzania (20,000 to 30,000) have the largest populations.
