Time to Celebrate Hippo Day

Hippo.co.za doesn’t think it’s coincidental that Hippo Day occurs on 15 February, the day after Valentine’s Day. Powerful and delightfully ungainly, hippos are one of Africa’s most beloved and majestic creatures. We might be a little biased, but we’re sure you’ll agree that hippos are worthy of a holiday of their own. Read on to find out why. 

 

Rather than swimming, hippos actually float or walk underwater with only a portion of their heads peeking above the surface. They can do this because their nose, eyes and ears are located at the top of their head; they can still breathe, see and hear when they are mostly submerged. 

 

When they are completely submerged, they can hold their breath for up to five minutes and simply fold their nostrils and ears shut to keep water out. 

 

With all that body weight and thick skin, you’d think they’d just about cook under the hot African sun, but they stay cool quite easily. They spend a lot of time wallowing in rivers and they secrete a substance that is like their very own sunblock, helping to protect their skin. 

 

Yes, hippos are pretty great, which is why we named our company after them. Just like in nature, our insurance comparison tool is also powerful. Just by comparing quotes, you could save money every month. Here’s how:
