hippopotamus, 하마
Hippopotamuses are enormous animals that live in the large rivers and lakes of Africa. While they may look cute, they are known to be very dangerous.
Hippopotamuses rest in the water during the day and come out onto land at night to eat grass. They are skilled swimmers and can hold their breath for extended periods.
하마는 아프리카의 큰 강과 호수에 사는 거대한 동물입니다. 귀엽게 생겼지만 매우 위험한 동물로 알려져 있습니다.
하마는 낮에는 물속에서 쉬다가 밤에 육지로 나와서 풀을 먹습니다. 물속에서도 잘 수영하고 오래 견딜 수 있습니다.
Hippopotamuses are massive mammals, weighing up to 3 tons, and despite their appearance, they are very aggressive. In Africa, there are reportedly more hippopotamus-related accidents each year than those caused by rhinoceroses or lions.
Recently, hippos have gained popularity on social media due to their cute appearance, earning them the nickname "water sausage." In particular, baby hippos have become a popular attraction at zoos worldwide.
