Personality of The Hippopotamus.
Hippopotami are very territorial Animals and will happily chase you out of the house if they don't like you. As such, not much is known about them but you don't want to get trodden by one. No, really, you don't! They like wallowing in mud and sometimes get sunburnt if they stay out too long.
Hippopotami are interested in mud, water, eating, pooing and sometimes scaring people.

ReplyDeleteThe hippos living here are cheering about this being their year! And singing a Dutch song called 'Leve het Nijlpaard' (Long live the Hippo)
