Weighing 4 tons (3630 kg), they stay in water during the daytime to keep cool in the hot African climate, only leaving to graze at night. Their skin secretes a special red substance, protecting them from the African sun. Baby hippos are born underwater at 66 pounds (30 kg). A mother typically gives birth to only one hippo that must swim to the surface for their first breath.
