Hippo

Hippo and Calf
The "wheeze-honk" call made by hippos in the water is one of the most familiar sounds of Africa. In addition to what we hear above water, hippos also vocalize underwater with up to 80% of their sounds being transmitted in this manner. This familiar honking call is also used underwater together with a range of clicks, groans, grunts and whines.
