The hippopotamus, the largest teeth

The hippopotamus, the largest teeth

This great herbivore, originally from Africa, usually consumes about 80 kg. of food a day, it needs a lot of calories. Some hippos get to have teeth of half a meter, with a weight of 6 kg. inside his mouth.

He spends a large part of his life submerged in water: he procreates and gives birth to it. At night he takes advantage of the fact that it is not so hot and leaves the water in search of food. Although they usually live in herds of about 40 individuals, when he goes out to eat he does so alone.
