PRETTY WATER PUBLIC SCHOOL

We will be learning about Horses and Hippos this week. 
Hippopotamuses live in Africa. 
They are land animals, but they spend a lot of their time living in water, like rivers, lakes, and swamps.
They rest in the water or mud during the day, but venture out to graze on grass during the night..
A male hippopotamus is called a bull while a female is called a cow.
A baby hippo is called a calf and a group of hippos are known as a herd, a pod, or a bloat. 
Sedgwick County Zoo, an incredible zoo, in Wichita Kansas has two hippos. 
Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up.
Horses can run shortly after birth.
Domestic horses have a lifespan of around 25 years.
Horses have been domesticated for over 5000 years.
Horses are herbivores (plant eaters).
Horses have bigger eyes than any other mammal that lives on land.
Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time.
A male horse is called a stallion.
A female horse is called a mare.
A young male horse is called a colt.
A young female horse is called a filly.
