Baby hippos are among the largest baby mammals in the world. Since hippos are the third-largest land mammal
behind only elephants and rhinos
you can probably imagine that they have massive babies. In fact
the average baby hippo is born weighing around 100 pounds! Hippo calves will eventually grow to weigh 3
000 pounds or more as fully-grown adults. They primarily depend on their mother's milk
which is rich in nutrients and fat
to help them gain weight. Since hippos spend much of their time in water
calves must nurse underwater. They close their eyes and nose when feeding to avoid sucking in water while they eat.
