Common Hippopotamus

Common Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is a terrestrial habitat animal in Planet Zoo 2, listed for the Lakes and rivers, Savannah and Wetlands biomes and native to Africa. Its IUCN category in the Zoopedia is "Vulnerable", and it ships with the base game.

Males reach about 4.5 m in length and 1750 kg; females about 3.75 m and 1250 kg. Use these figures when sizing viewing areas and shelters before the full habitat requirements are confirmed at launch.

For barriers, the Zoopedia export lists grade 4 with a minimum height of 2 m. Water barriers are not accepted for this species. Mixing it with other species means taking the highest grade and height among them; the barrier planner does that for you.
