Hippo Coloring Pages feature illustrations of this unique cloven-hoofed animal found only on the African continent. Hippos spend most of their time in water, venturing onto land only briefly. Their skin dries out and cracks under the intense heat of the sun, making aquatic environments more suitable for them. Hippos are herbivores, leaving the water at night to feed on plants. While rare, there have been instances of hippos attacking humans, often a sign of inadequate food sources. Naturally aggressive, hippos are well-known throughout Africa for this trait, and locals make a point to keep their distance. An encounter with a hippo is perilous; these animals can weigh over a ton and possess immense strength.
