Fun Fact: Grizzly Bears have an incredible sense of smell and can detect food from miles away, making them excellent hunters and scavengers.
Contender 2: Hippo
The hippopotamus, often simply referred to as the hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. With a barrel-shaped body, short legs, and a massive head with a broad, round snout, the hippo is the third-largest land animal after the elephant and rhinoceros. Hippos spend most of their day in the water or mud to keep their skin moist and protect it from the sun. Despite their bulk, hippos are excellent swimmers and can run surprisingly fast on land.
Fun Fact: Hippos secrete a natural sunscreen in the form of an oily red substance, which earned them the nickname "blood sweat," although it is neither blood nor sweat.
