Why Baby Hippos Are Afraid of Water? #shorts

Have you ever wondered why a baby hippo is scared of water, even though adult hippos spend most of their lives in rivers? The surprising truth is that hippos cannot actually swim. Their heavy bodies make it impossible to float, so they move by walking or bouncing along the riverbed. For a baby hippo, deep water can be very dangerous because its legs cannot reach the bottom. That’s why mother hippos keep their babies in shallow water until they grow strong enough to survive safely. This hidden fact about hippos will change the way you see these giant animals.
