Fossil discovery of hippos
The scientist believed that the fossils they found evolved from an ancestry of a plant-eating, semi-aquatic mammals named anthracotheres. The scientists couldn't confirm their finding because it was discovered 15,000 years ago.
Lihoreau and his team of scientist tripped upon a jaw that became visible to be from the anthracotheres family. They found from their diggings teeth that turned out to be from the anthracotheres species/family.
The scientists discovered that the ancient hippos weighed 220 pounds. It was related to the whales that swam in the ocean because this species lived in the water too, just like the whales. It is called the real African mammal because it is originally from Africa.
