	AWF: Wildlife: Hippopotamus
		The hippo’s flat, paddle-like tail is used to spread excrement, which marks territory borders and indicates status of an individual.
		Newly born hippos are relatively small, weighing from 55 to 120 pounds, and are protected by their mothers, not only from crocodiles and lions but from male hippos that, oddly enough, do not bother them on land but attack them in water.
		Hippos like to be close to shore lying on their bellies.

		Poachers sometimes hunt hippos for their large, soft ivory tusks, which are easier to carve than elephant tusks.
