The hippo is a huge, semiaquatic herbivore that spends its days in the river to stay cool, then comes ashore at night to graze on grass. A group is called a pod, ruled by a dominant bull who defends a stretch of water. Though they eat only plants, hippos are fiercely territorial, and a wide yawn showing long tusks is really a warning. They can even submerge and walk along the riverbed. These eleven words describe the hippo.
