Hippos may become extinct!
"There's been a huge drop in the number of hippos in the world and it's so serious they could become extinct.
The World Wide Fund for Nature has said something needs to be done urgently if hippos are to be saved." Newsround
I hope hippos don't become extinct I want my kids to know what a hippo is. They are being killed for there teeth. Why would someone kill an animal for there teeth.

I'll try and find some ways you can help the hippos. (Not sure right now.)
