Did You Know? How fast can a hippo run?


A hippopotamus may seem huge but it can still run faster than a man.

Hippos are the second-largest land animal -- second only to elephants. Male hippos can weigh more than 6,000 pounds. Females are more "delicate," topping out around 3,000 pounds. Despite their massive bulk, hippos can run faster than humans -- up to 30 miles per hour!
