ELEPHANT

HIPPOPOTAMUS prefer living in swamps, lakes and ponds which are bordered by pastures. They are never found far from the water and spend most of the day cooling off in it. In fact, they might spend up to half of their lives floating around in lakes, rivers and ponds. In the evenings hippos munch on short grasses. They can eat up to 88 pounds of grass each day! Each hippo pool is defended by one male.ELEPHANT: They live in rain forests, montane forests, the forested savanna and sub desert areas.
