So now that the polar bear has been made more viable, I think hippos should get the same treatment
For example, 1 hippo needs 1004.0 m² +502 m² for each additional animal for both land and water. That means for minimal social satisfaction, I need an enclosure of 2008.0 m² of land +2008.0 m² of water. Compare this with the Indian rhino, a similarly sized animal needs 1000.0 m² of land +250 m² for each additional animal and 37.0 m² of water +9 m² for each additional animal.
I'd deeply appreciate Frontier researching zoos that breed hippos to get a more sensible exhibit size
