    READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS 1-10

    The hippopotamus is the third largest land animal, smaller only than the elephant and the
    rhinoceros. Its name comes from two Greek words which mean “river horse.” The

    long name of this animal is often shortened to the easier to handle term “hippo.”

    The hippo has a natural affinity for the water. It does not float on top of the water; instead, it can
    walk along the bottom of a body of water. The hippo commonly remains underwater for three to
    five minutes and has been known to stay under for

    up to half an hour before coming up for air.

    In spite of its name, the hippo has relatively little in common with the horse and instead has a
    number of interesting similarities in common with the whale. When a hippo comes up after a
    stay at the bottom of a lake or river, it releases air through a

    blowhole, just like a whale. In addition, the hippo resembles the whale in that they both have
    thick layers of blubber for protection and they are almost completely

    hairless.
