Hippopotamuses

Hippopotamuses are the third biggest mammals after, whales and elephants. They can live both

in water and on land because of their ability to adjust their gravity when submerging or walking

in the water. [………….]

Male hippopotamuses weight varies from 1,500 kg to 1,800 kg. On the other hand, the female

weighs less, around 1,300 kg to 1,500 kg. Older male hippopotamuses can get even bigger, to
around 3,200 kg and sometimes even 4,500 kg. Unlike the males, who keeps growing as they get

older, the females stop growing approximately when they reach 25 years. On average, hippos are

around 3.3 to 5.2 in length. This measurement has included its tail, which is about 56 centimeters

long. [……….….]

Their eyes, ears, and nostrils are on their heads so they can submerge almost all their body parts

in the water. This allows them to cool themselves and avoid sunburn because they are less hairy

than other on-land mammals. Hippos also have small legs to help them reduce the water pressure

since they mostly spend their time in the water. [……….…]

Based on their short and big appearance, it may seem like they are terrible runners. However,

hippos can outrun a human on land. Hippos’ speeds range from 30 km/h to 50 km/h. Sadly,

hippos cannot run this fast for a long time. They can only do it for a few hundred meters.

[…………..]

Though young hippos can swim by kicking the water with their hind legs, adult hippos cannot.

They usually jump off from the bottom, and their speed is only around 8 km/h. Another

difference between young hippos and adult hippos is the time they need to resurface. Adult

hippos can stay in the water around 3 minutes to 5 minutes then resurface. On the other hand,

young hippos need to resurface every 2 minutes or 3 minutes. The need to resurface to take a

breath is automatic. Even when they are sleeping underwater, they will resurface without waking

up. When hippos submerge, their nostrils will close instinctively. [………………]

LINGHTNING

Lightning is a sudden, violent flash of electricity between a cloud and the ground, or from
cloud to cloud. A lightning flash, or bolt, can be several miles long. It is so hot, with an average
temperature of 34,000° Centigrade, that the air around it suddenly expands with a loud blast.
This is the thunder we hear.

Lightning occurs in hot, wet storms. Moist air is driven up to a great height. It forms a
type of cloud called cumulonimbus. When the cloud rises high enough, the moisture freezes and
ice crystals and snowflakes are formed. These begin to fall, turning to rain on the way down.
This rain meets more moist air rising, and it is the friction between them which produces static
electricity. When a cloud is fully charged with this electricity, it discharges it as a lightning flash.
