Baby Hippopotamus Information:

Hippopotamus calves, also known as baby hippos, are born weighing around 50 to 110 pounds and are roughly three feet long. Despite their cute appearance, they are still considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa, even as babies.

The mother hippo is fiercely protective of her calf and will defend it against any potential threat, including other hippos or predators. This makes it extremely dangerous for any animal, including humans, to come between the mother and her calf. Hippo calves rely on their mothers for protection, food, and warmth, and they stay with their mothers for up to two years until they are fully grown.

Hippo calves have a unique and fascinating appearance, with their wrinkled skin, large ears, and small snouts. They are known for their playful behavior and are often seen playing in the water, rolling around, and chasing each other.
