   • Main Difference Between Hippos, Whales and Dolphins

   It does not matter what time of the year it is; you will always find hippos living in the water of lakes or rivers. As they are adapted to the semi-aquatic lifestyle, these vast animals do not have to face the intense competition for food and other resources, like most animals in Africa. Hippos use this unexploited ecological leash in their favour....

   There is a compelling link between hippopotamuses and the water mammals like dolphins and whales. The whales and hippopotamuses share a standard line of ancestry that broke away from the herbivorous mammals millions of years earlier. This discovery helps us to understand why the hippos lead such a semi-aquatic life even after being land mammals. Hi...

   The most significant difference between hippopotamuses and whales and dolphins is that hippos can’t swim. On the other hand, the hippos prefer to walk along the bottom of the water floor instead of swimming, and they do this very well. Sharing is a good thing to do!

   Why do hippos sleep in water?

   • When totally submerged, the ears and nostrils shut tight to keep the water out, and hippos can hold their breath for five minutes. Hippos often nap in the water during the daytime. A subconscious reflex allows them to push themselves to the surface to breathe without waking up so they can sleep without drowning.

   Why do hippos like water?

   • Apart from being an unexploited niche, the water also helps these animals to regulate their body temperature. Hippos do not have sweat glands on their body like other mammals. That is why the cool touch of water helps them regulate their body temperature and keep it under control. 2. Sensitive Skin

   Why do hippopotamus stay in the water?

   • Another reason why the hippos choose to stay in the water is that they have susceptible skin. Even though the hippopotamus’s skin is very thick, it is also vulnerable to harsh sun rays. If the hippopotamus stays out of the water during the daytime for an extended period, it will lose a lot of water through its skin and become dehydrated.

   Can hippos swim?

   • Their nostrils close, and they can hold their breath for five minutes or longer when submerged. Hippos can even sleep underwater, using a reflex that allows them to bob up, take a breath, and sink back down without waking up. Yet despite all these adaptations for life in the water, hippos can't swim—they can't even float!
