Happy #NationalHippoDay from Unna!🦛 Despite their stocky shape and short legs, hippos can easily outrun a human. They have been clocked at 19mph over short distances! https://t.co/Ag5dVtgDSw

Did you know the Toronto Zoo is one of only two places in North America with both species of hippopotamus? 🦛

Pygmy hippos are 5-10 times smaller than river hippos in terms of weight, even though they still weigh 400-600 lbs! 🦛 #NationalHippoDay https://t.co/S6g0WFjO1U
