Hippos are more like underwater walkers than swimmers! They don’t actually swim—at least not in the way most animals do. Instead of propelling themselves through water using their limbs, they walk or run along the riverbed. Their bodies are extremely dense, so they stay submerged but can push off the bottom to move forward. They can also hold their breath for about 5 minutes and even sleep underwater, using a reflex that lets them bob up for air without waking up. This great video is brought to

Look who swam in the pond for the first time! 🫧 BUBBLES! 🫧 Bubbles the adorable Pygmy Hippo spent much of the day yesterday swimming in the pond for the first time with mom Nessie right by his side, and under the watchful eye of his keepers 💕 Pygmy Hippos are not as aquatic as the larger Hippo species, but they are still excellent swimmers. Bubbles took to the water right away! We started with just a little bit of water in the pond, but he quickly proved he was ready for deeper water.💦 #Team
