http://www.dublinzoo.ie/come_plains_hippopotamus.htm
Henri and Linda are our two common hippos, Henri is larger than Linda and one of his teeth sticks out of the side of his mouth. That particular tooth grows in a strange direction and so is not worn down against his other teeth but it does not cause him any problems. The word hippopotamus is Greek and means 'river horse'. Hippos are strictly vegetarian and in the wild would eat mostly grasses. Here in the zoo they get a variety of vegetables including carrots. During the day, wild hippos spend most of the day in the water and come out at night to eat. This is because their skin loses water very quickly and if they came out to graze in the heat of the day they would dehydrate. At one time it was thought that hippos sweated blood - because they have a reddish secretion that comes out of the skin. In fact it acts as a sunscreen and may even prevent the many cuts and scrapes that hippos get on their skin from becoming infected in dirty water. Hippos are extremely graceful when they are in the water. They can float on the top of the water resting or sink to the riverbed and walk or run along the bottom. Like many other animals that spend a lot of time in water, the hippo's eyes, ears and nostrils are all positioned on the top of the head so that they can see hear and smell even when the rest of the body is submerged.

What is The Hippolotofus?
We originally "met" on a hippos mailing list at OneList.com (which soon became egroups.com, which was then purchased by Yahoo), in early 1999. We came together because of our common interest in hippos. As we have grown, our activities have expanded to include an annual convention, numerous regional get-togethers, the Hippo Holiday Exchange, hippo projects and more. Who are The Hippolotofus? There are over 400 of us. We range in age from 9 to 90. We live in all parts of the globe, and speak many languages. You must speak some English to participate in our list, but English is not the native language for many of our members. Some have been collecting for years, and have thousands of hippos. Others may have just started, and only have a few. We are legal assistants, work-at-home moms, business people, students, retired people, engineers...we are hippo lovers!

W ild Life Safari In Tanzania
It seemed to take forever as I went through endless planning for this trip. I read books on Safaris, surfed the net searching for the elusive information about how, when and where to go. Just when it felt that it was not going to work it fell into place but not until I actually left on the safari. That says something about traveling to a third world country with unreliable tour operators with varying prices and changing schedules. One of them actually canceled the trip just before I was leaving the US. I decided to go anyway and try my luck in Tanzania in a small town called Arusha. It turned out to be a wise decision since all the tour operators are located there and you can check and compare what you are getting.More on the planning and going later in the "Traveler's tips." Let me get on with the actual experience. I left Arusha in a Land Rover as the only occupant besides the driver/guide towards Serengeti. A three-hour trip on the road led to the Rough road - a bone jarring drive towards Lake Manyara Ngrongoro Crater . Another bone jarring ride a couple of flats later we arrived at the Luxurious lodge with a view of the crater. Serena Lodges are in a manner of speaking, a throw back to the Colonial world. You enter this very polite, artificial, well-mannered environment where you have to wait for the attendants to do everything and they must enquire politely if you had a "good game drive." You are seated at a table, served the soup and then asked to avail yourself of the buffet with overcooked meat and bland dishes. The tourists are from all over French, German, American, and Czech. After dinner you can go the bar or watch a wild life video and return to your room with the curtains drawn and bed made.

The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International Many of us have a special interest in primates - because they look and behave so much like us! The Calgary Zoo has had much success with its own gorilla breeding programme, and in past years has led several photographic expeditions into Central Africa as a part of our Zoofari ecotour programme. To assist the wild population, our Conservation Fund has made a contribution to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, which has been working in Rwanda for over 30 years to protect the highly threatened mountain gorilla. During the recent war in Rwanda, wardens and other conservationists continued to remove gorilla snares and patrol the region.
The Zoo is also holding funds in trust for a fascinating project by University of Calgary graduate student Michael Proctor to create DNA "fingerprints" for gorillas. Although the work is with Rwanda's mountain gorillas, the ultimate targets are the less-studied lowland gorillas elsewhere in Africa. This technique will enable researchers to identify individual gorillas and to enumerate groups simply by gathering and analyzing naturally-shed gorilla hair. This study will resume once the political situation in Rwanda stabilizes.

http://moray.ml.duke.edu/projects/hippos/ConservationGenetics.html
The IUCN Hippo Specialty Group
Conservation Genetics Program
In 2001, researchers will begin collecting DNA from hippos around Tanzania. The information gained from this program will serve to examine the inter-relatedness of hippos within and between wild populations. This knowledge will provide much-needed insights into several areas critical to proper management of hippos and their long-term conservation. Program Title: "Hippo critical issues: Using conservation genetics to promote hippo conservation in Africa." Abstract: During the course of this program, DNA will be collected from from hippos in the wild as well as in zoos for the purposes of performing conservation activities and genetic research. Genetic markers will be assessed from hippos in the wild to identify groups of hippos experiencing increased levels of heterozygosity and/or genetic isolation. This information will provide researchers and wildlife managers with information on the groups of hippos that are most at risk. Future applications of this data will include identifying the existence of regional subspecies, and the genetic health of the small remaining population of pygmy hippos. The initial phases of this program are anticipated to last at least 3 years. Goals and Objectives: This is a long-term project, anticipated to continue for 4 years. The goal of the project is to use conservation genetics technology to inform and educate the conservation community on the status of both hippo species and to determine potential management actions that would foster species survival.

Some days, for example, you will spend time in rowboats, trapping lake-bottom dwellers like the destructive Louisiana crayfish that disrupt the aquatic food web of Naivasha. Or you may bring up water samples from the depths of the lake, measuring the essential dissolved oxygen that keeps fish and invertebrates healthy. At Bogoria, you may focus on banding flamingoes or collecting beetles, while at Baringo you may sample water, plants, and insects. All three lakes were recently declared Ramsar sites (wetlands of international importance), and your work will help design management plans and guide their implementation.

Hippopotamus
CLASS: Mammalia ORDER: Artiodactyla FAMILY: Hippopotomidae Hippopotamus amphibius CLASSIFICATION: Family consists of 2 genera with one species in each. The other genus, Choeropsis liberiensis , is the pygmy hippo. RANGE: Historical: Widely distributed over large parts of Africa and Palestine. Current: National parks of western Uganda and the eastern Congo. Around rivers and lakes, preferably near grasses. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Length: 10.8 to 11.3 ft. Height: 4.6 ft. Weight: Male - 3,500 to over 7,000 lbs.; Female - over 3,000 lbs. Coloration: Upper part of body is gray-brown to blue-black; lower part is pinkish; albinos are bright pink. DIET: Zoo: Cubed hay, horse pellets, steer food supplement Wild: Mainly grasses and reeds; also eat aquatic plants and other vegetation; nocturnal feeders. BEHAVIOR: Hippos are gregarious and gather in herds with an average group size of 10-15 animals. Some males are solitary and territorial. Excrement is used for territorial marking, and flung with the tail. Other males maintain territories containing nursery groups of females and young. At mating time, bulls engage in fights which can be fatal. The primary weapons are the huge lower canine teeth. They can be found asleep in the sun or resting in water during daytime, and usually go ashore at night to feed. Hippos are sedentary, and do not migrate.

Hippos and Headwinds - Carrie Hampton negotiated the Zambezi river, full of hippos and crocs, in a flimsy fibreglass canoe and against monumental head winds. She lived to tell the story……. In a complete panic I was paddling forwards while my companion in the back was trying to reverse. We zig-zagged on the spot going nowhere while a huge hippopotamus burst through the water towards us with mouth agape, baring mammoth teeth and puffy pink gums. paddled in unison Our sighs of relief were ruined when we were told to make a better plan for the next time as there was sure to be one.
We were eight adventure seekers and two river guides paddling up a remote stretch of the Zambezi River between Mana Pools in northern Zimbabwe and Kanyemba on the Mozambique border.

Kingdom of The Wild Zones in our virtual tour:
BEGINNING Zone
AQUATIC Zone VALLEY Zone LAKELANDS ... The HEIGHTS Kingdom of the Wild is one of Colchester Zoo's latest developments, and is a most impressive exhibit. It is a multi species complex, which houses a range of different African species ranging from Giraffes and Pygmy Hippos to Monitor lizards and Spurred Tortoises. The Giraffes, White Rhino, Zebra, Ostriches and Crowned cranes can all be seen mixing together in paddocks recreating a savannah environment. Inside the building you will find a variety of reptile, invertebrate and fish as well as our Pygmy hippo, Meerkats and Patas monkeys. Alongside the paddock you will find our African vulture aviary housing White backed Vultures and Ruppells Griffon vultures and a Soft Bill Aviary, housing Spoonbills and Ibis. Don't miss the Aardvarks too at "Aardvark Burrow".
The Giraffes : We currently have three young male giraffes, Edmund, Killian and Koife. Killian is easily recognisable as he only has one ear, however this doesn’t affect his welfare. Edmund is slightly smaller than Killian and Koife is currently the smallest of the three. They are fed on a diet of browse, hay fruit, and vegetables. There are daily feed times where you can get the unique opportunity to hand feed the giraffes yourself. See the display and feed timetable.
The Rhinos : Flossy and Simba are White Rhinos, they have been at the zoo since 1983. They can be seen mixing with the giraffes and zebra in the paddock. The rhinos like to keep cool by coating their skin in mud, the paddock has a special mud bath for them both to bathe in. White Rhinos were once the most endangered rhino species due to excessive hunting for their horns, which are used to make dagger handles and trinkets. Their populations have now grown due to conservation efforts, however they are still vulnerable.

Most of the art and crafts that we sell originate in Zimbabwe, where the talent of the local artists is arguably the best in Africa. The work of these artists reflects creativity and attention to detail. Traditional African crafts portray the values and spirituality of the people. Many African themes and shapes have been incorporated into their work, making it unique and attractive. The men concentrate on woodcarving and rock or iron sculpture, whilst the women have mastered batik-work, pottery, crocheting, tie-dyeing and ethnic clothing. Shona sculpture has become internationally recognised and is highly acclaimed. Pieces depict humans, animals and ancestors of the people. International markets have responded strongly to the abstract nature of this work. We also sell exclusive sterling silver pillboxes, keychains, winestops, bookmarks, card holders, miniatures, salters, spoons and Christmas decorations, crafted using the ancient ‘lost wax’ process and hand finished by Zimbabwean artists and craftsmen.
