Description | Description:Pygmy Hippopotamus is the mini version of the common or river hippo. It has a rounder and narrower head, a greenish-black, smooth layer of skin that secretes a pink fluid (blood sweat), which gives it a shiny look. It also acts like a sunscreen to prevent dehydration. | Description:Moose are the largest in the deer family, and live in cold regions of Europe and North America. They cannot sweat, and their bellies generate heat, so they cannot stay in warmer environments. They are known to be strong swimmers and can reach up to 9.5 kph in the water. |
