Hip Hip Hippos

In ancient Greek, hippopotamus means horse of the river but the hippo is not a relative of the horse! So what is a hippo? It is a large, semi-aquatic mammal in Africa and is most closely related to whales and dolphins (I kid you not!) of all the animals in the modern animal world.


While the hippos in these images may look calm and even possibly a little lazy, they are very aggressive animals and are often regarded as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. Now I wouldn't have expected that!

African and Asian Elephants - Can you tell the difference?

African and Asian elephants are quite distinct from each other and I have heard it said that the only similarities between the two is that they are both big land mammals that have a trunk and some form of tusks. Can you tell the differences?

If you thought the first picture was an African elephant and the second was an Asian elephant, then you would be right! African elephants are usually larger, with bigger ears, longer tusks. The head of Asian elephants have two humps and a dented forehead. Their trunks only have one finger, whereas the African elephants have two fingers. These are just a few of the many differences between the two.
