Hippos.
Africa is home to large barrel-shaped hippos with stubby legs.
Apart from small rough hairs on their noses, hippos' bodies are mostly hairless. They are the world's third largest land animal. That is, behind elephants and rhinoceros!

The term hippo is an abbreviation for hippopotamus, which meaning "River Horse." This is due to the fact that hippos spend a lot of time wallowing in water. Here's one... Under the water, she kept her head cool.
Don't forget to take deep breaths.
