	Family Hippopotamidae or hippopotamuses

		The family Hippopotamidae is a sister group to the cetaceans, represented here by an orca.
		The family of Hippopotamidae is a major component of the african faunas since the late Miocene.

	Comparative Placentation
		Hippopotamuses belong to the suborder Suina, a varied group of artiodactyls that were summarized aptly by Macdonald and Bosma (1985) thus: "Apart from a number of extinct groups, the artiodactyl suborder Suina comprises the families Suidae (pigs), Tayassuidae (peccaries) and Hippopotamidae (hippopotami) (Romer, 1966).
		Hasegawa and Adachi (1996) were critical of this analogy, and Nomura and Yasue (1999) further pursued the taxonomic relations.

	Even-toed ungulate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In particular, recent research suggests that the Hippopotamidae (which are likely derived from among the extinct group known as anthracotheres) may be more closely related to the ruminants than to the pigs.
		Not only are their digestive systems highly developed, they have also evolved the habit of chewing cud: regurgitating partly-digested food to chew it again and extract the maximum possible benefit from the end.
		Lastly a group of artiodactyls, which molecular biology suggests were most closely related to Hippopotamidae, returned to the sea to become whales.

		Pygmy hippopotamuses are members of the family Hippopotamidae, along with the larger Nile hippopotamuses.
		Pygmy and Nile hippopotamuses are both members of the same family of mammals Hippopotamidae.
		At first glance they may look and act very much alike; but they are, in fact, two very distinct species with different lifestyles and physical adaptations.

	Babel \| More on Hippo Paleontology
		"Among all the hypotheses on the origin of the Hippopotamidae, the writer retains valid those of Pickford (1983, 1989), who assumes that Hippopotamidae originated from the Doliochoerinae and, more precisely from the genus Xenohyus Ginsberg, a Tayassuidae of great size from the Early and Middle Miocene of Europe.
		The dental pattern of Xenohyus is similar to that of Kenyapotamus Pickford from the Middle and Late Miocene of Africa (Pickford, 1983) (16-8 Ma), which represents the more ancient genus of the family Hippopotamidae.
		Therefore it is probable that the hippopotamuses originated from the Tayassuridae and that the genus Kenyapotamus gave origin to the genus Hippopotamus.

		Popularly called a "hippo," the hippopotamus has a barrel-shaped body and short legs.
		It belongs to the order Artiodactyla, and the family Hippopotamidae, which also includes the Pygmy Hippo and a number of extinct species.
		Hippos may grow to 15 feet (4.5 meters) in length, 5 feet (1.5 meters) in height to the shoulder, and weigh 3-5 tons.
