This weeks science discovery is on Hippos. The hippo is a large animal with short legs that is shaped like a barrel. Hippos are mainly found in Africa's waters such as rivers, lakes and swamps. If you think a hippo is slow because they are chubby you are wrong, they can easily outrun humans. Although they eat mostly plants, they can become very aggressive and are known as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
