| Initial genetic studies have provided evidence that the marine mammals are most closely related to hippopotamuses. |
|
| Animals with relatively short distal bones, such as elephants and hippopotamuses, have more columnar legs and do little running. |
|
| These creatures include fish, crocodiles, turtles, hippopotamuses, monkeys, rodents, and antelopes. |
|
| Twenty-two days spent tracking elephants, hippopotamuses, and crocodiles in the Okavango Delta. |
|
| It seemed that there were a couple from each species: elephants, hippopotamuses, even chickens. |
|
| Both are still complete in pigs and hippopotamuses, although the fibula is slender. |
|
| In hippopotamuses the stomach is divided into four compartments, and micro-organisms ferment food as part of the digestive process. |
|
| Pigs, peccaries, hippopotamuses, camels, and chevrotains have no horns or antlers. |
|
| All four toes of each foot of hippopotamuses touch the ground, and the terminal phalanges have nail-like hoofs. |
|
| Metamynodon and some other forms were about as large as hippopotamuses and may have lived in rivers. |
|
| Park ranger John Bosco Kanyangara Muhima was trying to protect hippopotamuses from poachers when he came under attack. |
|
| Along the way, watch out for alligators that dance 'til midnight, hippopotamuses that hum lullabies and slugs that sing opera! |
|
| Surveys conducted by ANCE in 2005 in the region enabled to assess the damage caused by hippopotamuses to harvests annually. |
|
| Night fishing activities occur in the rivers and they are also major causes of stress for hippopotamuses. |
|
| Conversely, hippopotamuses damage harvests few times ago. |
|
| The lake and its surrounding area are home to 350 bird species, hippopotamuses, buffalo, apes and other rare animals, and the water is used by the Massai, a tribe of nomadic herders, for their animals. |
|
| The reliefs created in the ancient graves more than 4,000 years show how pharaohs in papyrus boats in the thickets harpooned hippopotamuses, thus defeating the most powerful animals in the Nile. |
|
| Cetaceans' closest living relatives are the hippopotamuses, having diverged about 40 million years ago. |
|
| Several people reported that they have been pursued by hippopotamuses in the river once at least during fishing while navigating during the same survey, waterway constituting the most used transport mode through the border. |
|
| One hypothesis is that they drove elephants, rhinoceroses and hippopotamuses over the tops of cliffs or into bogs to more easily kill them. |
|
|
|
| Populated by several animal species, pygmy hippopotamuses, zebra duikers, Jentink's duiker, bogons, elephants, etc., the Taï national park is being rehabilitated. |
|
| This past summer, John Bosco Kanyangara Muhima, a park ranger in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was patrolling with his teammates in Virunga Park to protect its two remaining hippopotamuses. |
|
| Thus, migration ways of hippopotamuses are cultured and forests galleries which are other shelters of hippopotamuses along the river are destroyed for their ligneous resources and for space. |
|
| Many of the animals showcased at the games, such as lions, hippopotamuses, gazelles, goats, and stags, were depicted on a series of commemorative coins. |
|
| In the little train or in a car, you drive through an area where there are elephants, giraffes, hippopotamuses, rhinoceros, dromedaries, zebras, buffalo, gnus, antilopes and other species of animals living in semi-liberty. |
|
| Together they can overpower large prey like zebras, buffalo, Giraffes, hippopotamuses, and even young elephants, but they're not above scavenging other animals' leftovers. |
|
| Under this definition, the closest living land relative of the whales and dolphins is thought to be the hippopotamuses. |
|
| In its conservation efforts, two distinct zones have been demarcated: one a protected area close to the river for the hippopotamuses, another for the human population. |
|
| Important fauna include baboons, lions, cheetahs, elephants, black rhinoceroses, hippopotamuses, Maasai giraffes, buffalo, oryx, wildebeests, gerenuk, impalas, and gazelles. |
|
| Some semiaquatic or aquatic mammals such as cetaceans, pinnipeds and hippopotamuses have evolved hairlessness, presumably to reduce resistance through water. |
|
| Other animals, such as hippopotamuses, pigs, rhinoceroses, water buffalo and elephants, bathe in mud in order to cool off and protect themselves from the sun. |
|
| Cetaceans and artiodactyls now are classified under the order Cetartiodactyla, often still referred to as Artiodactyla, which includes both whales and hippopotamuses. |
