Das Flusspferd (Hippopotamus amphibius), auch Nilpferd oder Großflusspferd genannt, ist ein großes, pflanzenfressendes Säugetier. Es lebt in Gewässernähe im mittleren und südlichen Afrika und zählt nach den Elefanten zu den schwersten landbewohnenden Säugetieren.

Flusspferde verbringen praktisch den ganzen Tag schlafend oder ruhend, dazu halten sie sich im Wasser oder in Gewässernähe auf. Vorwiegend in der Nacht verlassen sie das schützende Wasser, um sich auf Nahrungssuche zu begeben.
