Hippos (Hippopotamus amphibius) are semi-aquatic herbivores commonly found in rivers, lakes, and wetland areas across Kenya . They are known for their large size, barrel-shaped bodies, and massive mouths. Hippos spend much of their day submerged in water to stay cool and come ashore at night to graze on grasses. They are found in various Kenyan wildlife reserves and water bodies, such as Lake Naivasha and the Mara River.

At Porini Lion Camp in Olare Motorogi Conservancy, we often heard the noise of hippos grazing in the small pond near our tent at night.

河马(Hippopotamus amphibius)是半水生草食动物,常见于肯尼亚的河流、湖泊和湿地地区。 它们有巨大的体型、桶状的身体和巨大的嘴巴。

河马白天的大部分时间都浸在水中以保持凉爽,晚上则上岸吃草。 它们生活肯尼亚的各个野生动物保护区和水体中,例如奈瓦沙湖和马拉河。

在 Olare Motorogi 保护区内的 Porini Lion 营地,晚上我们经常听到河马在我们帐篷附近的小池塘里倘徉吃草发出的噪音。
