Description

A Hippopotamus is a massive herbivore dwelling in tropical and sub-tropical swamps, lakes, and rivers. While it feeds on various herbs and weeds, it is territorial, aggressive, and hot-tempered, and is likely to attack anyone who encroaches into its territory.

Not only can it trample its foes with its enormous weight, but a hippopotamus also has long, sharp teeth that can deliver a devastating bite.
