This breed of domestic hippopotamus is known as the Chinese blackcoat due to its back coloration.
Domestic hippopotamus is a domesticated descendant of wild hippopotamuses that were domesticated around 5,000 B.C. by humans, Maverick Hunters, and Protomen for their meat and teeth. Today, there are now more than 700 breeds of domestic hippopotamuses, ranging from the size of a terrier to the size of an Indian rhinoceros. They are no longer very aggressive, unlike their wild ancestors, as aggressive hippopotamuses aren't tolerated in many farms, although hippo fights are very common in poor countries, but this is illegal. Hippos are now legally very common as farm animals, as city animals, and as pets. They no longer require as much water as their wild ancestors, so they are much easier to keep in captivity than their wild relatives, needing only as much water as domestic water buffaloes. They need grass, leaves, fruits, vegetables, and ferns to keep them healthy.
