Pangpang took a slow walk on the shore.

The round tummy looks like a pregnant baby. With several folds on the chin, it looks simple, honest and bulky.

After coming to Haihai zoo, I opened my stomach to eat. I ate a lot more than before. Recently, my stomach is vaguely fat again.

Compared with the huge and bulky body, the legs are disproportionately short, like an armored car with a toy bumper car tire.

Lift it up, take a step forward, pause step by step, and then take a step forward. The pace is slow and calm.

Walking is like dancing soul tango. Every step is on the point, and the head turns left and right. It has a sense of rhythm!

In wonderful contrast to its clumsy body, tourists saw a sense of elegance when they watched it walk.

Pangpang walked slowly with his tail flicking gently.

The small eyes narrowed at the top of the big head exuded a lazy smell.

"Yo, this elegant little step!"

Qian Keke looked at Pangpang and sighed, "it''s cute as long as you don''t shit!"

Tang Xiaoxin agreed: "well, it looks silly and stupid!"

Pangpang just came out of the water. The sun''s light was reflected on the thick skin, and dark red was shining in the dark brown.

"This skin looks like sunscreen! I really want to touch it!"

"I don''t know what it feels like. Is it smooth or rough?"

"Maybe it''s similar to the skin of an elephant?"

The tourists looked curiously at the breeder!

The breeder explained with a smile: "hippos'' skin is really smooth! Their body is covered by a thick epidermis. There are almost no hair and pores on their skin, only some short hair on their tail."

The weather is hot recently. When we go to the elephant Pavilion, we may often see elephants rolling in the mud pit, wrapping themselves in mud, or sprinkling sand on their bodies after playing with water.

There are many folds on the elephant''s skin, which is conducive to the preservation of water, will not evaporate rapidly, and has a lasting cooling effect.

Hippo''s skin is smooth. When exposed to the air, the water will evaporate quickly, so how to cool down and prevent sunscreen is a problem.

Although hippos have no sweat glands on their skin, they have other glands. If they lose water and dry for a long time, they will secrete a thick red liquid. This liquid can not only block ultraviolet rays, prevent insect bites, but also moisturize their skin!

A little similar to sunscreen, it can play a good protective effect on the skin.

You can see that hippos'' skin is red. It''s not sunburn or bleeding, but their own "blood and sweat".

Of course, hippos'' favorite way to cool down is to stay under the water! If you stay on land for a long time, your legs will be overwhelmed by such a huge body. Staying in the water can reduce the burden on your limbs. "

"Oh ~"

The tourists made a sudden sound!

The breeder laughed again, "does anyone want to touch the hippo?

Although the hippo seems to be a dull animal in Baoke''s dream, it''s silly and silly. It''s in a daze all day. In fact, the hippo is very fierce! The bite force of the big mouth is very strong, and it''s not a problem to turn over the lion and crocodile.

Strong sense of territory and aggressive.

It looks slow. In fact, it takes only about 9 seconds to sprint a hundred meters on land. It is also the most dangerous herbivore in Africa, second only to elephants.

We should pay attention to safety when we operate at ordinary times. We must not regard them as docile animals. "

"Darling! I can''t see it!"

"I thought hippos were gentle!"

Tang Xiaoxin couldn''t help saying, "I feel like a panda! They are all cute, but actually very fierce animals."

At this time, a head quietly floated out of the water.

Dudu only shows the top of his head. If he doesn''t look carefully, he is a big brown stone on the water!

A pair of bulging small eyes peep around quietly, just like a submarine with a periscope.

"Poof" sprayed his nose, and two streams of water came out of his nostrils, splashing like two small fountains!

The breeder said, "this hippo is Dudu! Well, it''s timid. It''s a social phobia. It doesn''t come up from the water and stays under the water. It''s estimated to be shouting Pangpang!"

Sure enough, Pangpang heard the news, turned to Dudu, and walked down the bank with small steps.

Qian Keke guessed, "did it come up to take a shit? But a lot of shit fell into the water just now. Is it comfortable to stay in the water?"

Tang Xiaoxin thought and said, "anyway, it''s his own shit. I don''t mind?"

Qian Keke left his mouth and said, "Gee!"

Gradually accepted the fact that hippos are very sloppy animals.

When Pangpang went underwater, the two hippos sank together, and the tourists followed in the direction of the underwater corridor.

Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke also held hands. Through the transparent glass curtain wall, you can clearly see the hippo moving underwater!

Just now I saw Pangpang go up and down the bank. The water there is relatively shallow, about one meter. Standing on the edge can just expose his head and back and give the hippo a place to land.

Further inside, like a waterfall cliff, the water is much deeper!

The sun shines through the water and under the pool, reflecting the sparkling light flashing on the stones.

Dudu''s head is down, four small short legs curl up and stick to his body, and float down slowly.

When I reached the place near the bottom of the water, my two front feet stretched out, gracefully stepped on the stones at the bottom of the water, walked forward, and floated upward again with this force!

Continue to curl up your front feet, float up, take your head and tail as the central axis, and roll slowly 270 degrees in the water like a gray roller, with your belly facing the glass curtain wall.

The back foot gently pedaled twice, adjusted the direction of the water and floated to the other side.

Pangpang also fell to the bottom of the water, gently stepped on it, floated up, and gracefully chased after Dudu''s back.

Wait for me!

Be as graceful as a startling goose and as vigorous as a wandering dragon!

Although hippos are huge and heavy, their flexible and light posture in the water really gives people this wonderful feeling!

Two hippos went up and down, one after another, chasing back and forth.

Like playing games, or ballet in diving, dancing in the sparkling light, graceful and elegant posture.

Tang Xiaoxin and Qian Keke couldn''t help but open their eyes and exclaimed.

"Oh!!!"

"Great!"

It was the first time they saw hippos swimming. Before that, they could not imagine that they were so flexible underwater. They looked much better than on the shore!

The tourists around also quickly took out their cameras and "KaKa" kept taking photos.
