Hippos are huge! / Jonathan London ; illustrated by Matthew Trueman.

London, Jonathan, 1947- (author.). Trueman, Matthew, (illustrator.).

Summary:

What's the deadliest animal in Africa? It's not the lion or the crocodile--it's the hippopotamus! Hippos have razor-sharp tusks, weigh as much as fifty men, and can run twenty-five miles per hour! Follow these hefty hulks as they glide underwater, play tug-of-war, swat balls of dung at one another, and nuzzle their young in the mud. Just don't get too close--they could chomp you in two!-- Source other than Library of Congress.
