Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus amphibus

Hippopotamuses are never far from water -- their skin is surprisingly thin and cracks easily if it dries out. A great deal of the hippo's life is spent more or less submerged in rivers and hippo pools, where sleeping, mating, and general wallowing occur. This particular hippo took the opportunity for a huge stretch, coupled with a classic wide-mouthed yawn, and then began to roll over and over in the water, like a barrel.
