BABY HIPPOS Baby hippos, known as calves, are born weighing 50 kg (110 lbs). They can gain up to 2 kg per day thanks to their mom’s incredibly rich milk. Natural born swimmers, they can nurse under water. They typically breastfeed for about 6 to 8 months though they start feeding on grass after 3 weeks #hippo #babyhippo #wildlifephotography #wildlifefacts #hippolove #overlandingafrica #muddustoverlanding #okavangodelta #okavangodeltabotswana #botswanasafari
