If this is for me.
I've been to a zoo, but this is not related as I don't recall seeing hippos there and of course they wouldn't provide them with a deep pit to drown in. Following the same link I supplied (People also ask: "Can hippos drown?"): have you ever been to a
San Diego zoo?
"
Hippos can even sleep underwater, using a reflex that allows them to bob up, take a breath, and sink back down without waking up.": my point is they can't "bob up" (just jump up?) from any depth as they can't float. They need reliably
shallow waters, it seems.
