'''Hippopotamuses''' (from the [[Greek]] for '[[River]] [[Horse]]') are large [[herbivore|herbivorous]] semi-[[aquatic]] [[African]] [[mammals]], and the only four-toed [[ungulate]]s. Once living in northern Africa, the hippopotamus is now only found south of the [[Sahara]]. The hippopotamus may have been the [[behemoth]] mentioned in [[Job]] 40:15-24. The hippopotamus and pygmy hippopotamus are the only living [[species]], a small number of [[extinct]] species are also known from [[fossils]]. | '''Hippopotamuses''' (from the [[Greek]] for '[[River]] [[Horse]]') are large [[herbivore|herbivorous]] semi-[[aquatic]] [[African]] [[mammals]], and the only four-toed [[ungulate]]s.
