| Hippos follow the
same trails each night as they move from the water to the hippo lawns.
These trails are very important. In some parts of Africa, the
hippo trails connect the waterways with seasonal flood plains.
Hippo trails are very well blazed . When walking through the high grasses of the African plains, a hippo trail will often provide an easy route for other animals as well. The tracks of many animals ranging from mice to lions can be seen on a hippo trail. |
