Hippo-navigators

Hippos are animals that can live in water and on land, so they have their own routes on both land and water. On land, hippos leave marks of their presence — these can be hoof marks on the ground or other types of marks to help them remember their route and find their way back. They also use their visual and olfactory senses for navigation on land.

In water, hippos also follow their own routes to find food and water. They can travel along the shoreline and move through rivers and lakes to find convenient places for swimming and resting. Hippos can also use their olfactory marks to help them find their way in water.

These routes help hippos maintain their territories and find food and water within their territory. They can also use their routes to avoid conflicts with other hippos that may live in the same water bodies.
