The physical characteristics of a hippopotamus include a barrel-shaped body, stumpy legs, a large head, a short tail, and four toes on each foot. It stands 1.5 meters tall and weighs nearly 7054 lb (3,200 kg). A hippo spends most of its day in the water to save from fleas, parasites, and mosquitos.
