Hippopotamus

Hippopotamuses are found in Africa where they require habitats with water deep enough to protect them from overheating and sunburn.

When on land, they can also be surprisingly nimble and speedy, but it’s the battles between males where their power is best demonstrated, since these bloody competitions often result in death.
