Hippos reach a nose to tail length of up to around 5 metres and can weigh up to 4.5 tons. With a total amount of 150,000 animals, this genus is counted among endangered species. Despite their portly appearance, the animals can run quickly on land. They are sometimes known to be very aggressive: they kill more people in Africa than any other species.

During the largest heat-day, a giraffe in the South African part of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier National Park lingers in the shade of a tree, taken on 24.02.2019. The Giraffe (giraffa) belongs to the pairhorses and with a weight of up to 1600 kg and a body height of up to six meters (bulls) is the highest land-living animal dar. Despite their length, the giraffe's cervical spine has only seven accordingly large vertebrae, whereby the neck is held by only one tendon. Today, giraffes are only found in savanna areas south of the Sahara, swampy versusden are generally avoided. Photo: Matthias Toed
