Hippos are social animals that live in groups. Herds of hippos typically consist of 10 to 30 members, including both males and females, although some groups have as many as 200. Regardless of the number, each herd is usually led by a leading male. Hippos are very large animals.
Hippos are aggressive and are very dangerous. They have large teeth and tusks that are used to fend off threats, including humans. Sometimes baby hippos are in danger because of the aggressive nature of adult hippos. In a fight between two hippos, a baby hippo caught in the middle is most likely to be severely injured or even crushed. Although hippos move easily through water, they cannot swim.
