Answer:

Hippos' bones Unknown is the precise amount of bones that hippos possess. These semi-aquatic animals may weigh between 3,000 and 9,000 pounds in males and females.

Explanation:

Elephants are the biggest terrestrial animals, with hippopotamuses coming in second. These substantial animals are found in and close to Africa's oceans. They are gregarious creatures that dwell in big groups.

The unknown is the precise amount of bones that hippos possess.

Females of these semi-aquatic animals may weigh up to 3,000 pounds, while males can weigh up to 9,000 pounds. It may be a surprise to hear that comparatively, tiny leg bones support a massive body.

In contrast to other bones, these leg bones have very little porous material and are exceedingly dense. Hippos may walk along the bottom of a body of water by sinking to the bottom, just their eyes and nose remaining visible.

Hippopotamus amphibius, often known as the hippo, common hippopotamus, or river hippopotamus, is a large semi-aquatic mammal indigenous to sub-Saharan Africa. The pygmy hippopotamus is the other one of the two remaining species in the family, Hippopotamidae (Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis). Its name is derived from the Greek word meaning "river horse".

The biggest land animal is the hippopotamus, followed by elephants and rhinos. Additionally, it is the biggest living land artiodactyl. The closest surviving relatives of the hippopotamids are cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises, etc.), from whom they separated some 55 million years ago, despite their morphological similarity to pigs and other terrestrial even-toed ungulates. Hippos are recognisable by their pillar-like legs, virtually hairless bodies, wide-opening mouths with huge canine tusks, and large size: adults weigh an average of 1,300 kg (2,870 lb) for cows and 1,500 kg (3,310 lb) for bulls (males) as bulls (females). Despite its stocky build and short legs, it can run short distances at 30 km/h (19 mph).
