By Mori Walker Hap YEAH, WE CAREFUL OUT OH T7- - hi popotamuses wander for miles near the riverbank grazing as they go. Each hippopotamus eats about 130 pounds of vegetable matter every day. The eyes of a stick out from his head. The posi- -' tion of the eyes, ears and nostrils enables the ani-mal to see, hear and breathe with most of its head underwater. They have a good sense of smell but only fair vision, ; The animals are co-- vered with thick, brownisskin. They h-gray have no hair except for a few bristles on the head and tail. Special glands in the skin give off a clear, pink or red oily fluid. This-- , fluid keeps the skin from getting too dry. The red-- -, dish color of the fluid led to the mistaken belief that the hippopotamus sweat blood. Herd Life River hippopotamuses live in herds of from five' to30 animals. A female carries her young inside her body for about seven and a half months before it is born She almost always has only one baby at a tune, but sometimes she may have twins. female h i p popotamus has her first baby when she is five or six years old Hippopotamuses liv about 30 years in the natural surroundings and about 50 years if a zoo is home.
