Hippo Patti Fun Facts:
🦛 Hippos don't swim, they walk or push off the bottom like a gallop.
🦛 Hippos have a thrid eyelid that protects their eyes, allowing Patti to see under water.
🦛 Hippo's eyes and ears sit on top of their head which lets Patti see and hear things going on above the water.

A tale of tails! 💚
👉 Even though it looks like Natasha is using her tail for a sprinkler, tigers use their tail for balance when making sharp turns in pursuit of prey.
👉 Choto will use his tail for balance as well as warmth in the colder months. Snow leopards have tails that are as long as the rest of their body!
👉 Dash will also use his tail for balance as he crosses tree branches. Red pandas also wrap it around themselves for warmth during the winter months.
