Scientists have made a big claim about the hippopotamus, famous for its heavy body and powerful jaws. Scientists say that this animal weighing up to 2000 kg sometimes starts flying in the air. After studying the footage of the hippopotamus running, researchers at the Royal Veterinary College in Hertfordshire near London have said that when it runs at full speed, it is in a state of flight.
According to a Forbes report, hippos can fly. However, it is not like birds. Research has found that when hippos run fast, it often happens that all four of their legs are in the air. Hippos can run at a maximum speed of 30 or 35 kilometers per hour. You may also be surprised to hear this.
Actually, this animal is called the king of lakes. When it is in water, it looks lazy. However, this is not the case. It is also very dangerous. Its jaws are so powerful that it can kill anyone. It also attacks very fast.
Research has found that when hippos chase their prey, all four of their legs are in the air 15 percent of the time. This is a surprising claim because hippos are one of the heaviest creatures found on earth. This also includes elephants and rhinoceroses. But when it comes to running, hippos are completely different. Apart from this, the larger the body, the smaller the legs will be in proportion.
