River hippopotamuses are good simmers and live lakes, rivers and streams near grasslands. They can underwater for as long as six minutes. On land, they can run as fast as a human being- about 32 kilometers per hour. They live in herds of from 5 to 30 animals. They spend the day resting in the water, eating water plants. At night, the herd goes on land to feed. The animals eat fruit, grass, leaves and vegetables. A female hippopotamus carries her young inside her body for about 7 ½ months before it is born. She almost always has one baby at a time, but sometimes she bears twins. A baby hippopotamus, called a calf, weighs about 45 kilograms at birth. It can swim almost immediately and usually nurses on its mother’s milk underwater. It begins to eat grass at the age of 4 to 6 months. A young hippopotamus often climbs on its mother’s back and suns itself as she floats on the water. On land, the mother hippopotamus keeps her calf close by. If the youngster wanders away, she butts it as punishment. A female hippopotamus gives birth to her first baby when she is 5 to 6 years old. Hippopotamuses live about 30 years in their natural surroundings and 50 years in a zoo. When two hippopotamuses fight, they slash at each other with their canines. Many fights continue until one of the hippopotamuses gets killed or suffers a broken leg. Almost no other kind of animal attacks adult hippopotamuses, but crocodiles and lions sometimes attack the young. If a hippopotamus feels threatened on land, it runs for the water. 1.
