Hippopotamus Hippopotamus amphibius

Hippopotamuses are basically aquatic by day, but come out of the water to feed on grass at night. They can also run fast. On land, they secrete a red liquid from the skin all over their body to protect themselves from drying out.
Birthing often takes place in water, and breastfeeding also takes place in water.
They often give birth and even suckle babies underwater, too.
As males defecate, they shake their tails vigorously to spread the feces and claim their territory.
