Name: Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius)
| Kingdom: | Animalia |
| Phylum: | Chordata |
| Class: | Mammalia |
Observation: it's very interesting to me that this animal can spend as much time in the water as it can. My research showed that it is considered to be a semi-aquatic animal. They remain cool by staying in the water during the day. Reproduction and birth also takes place in the water (wikipedia.org, 2011). To be semi-aquatic is one of the coolest things I've ever heard of.
