Jamila is a fat, wild African hippopotamus. Her name means beautiful in Swahili. Jamila was born and raised in a zoo with her old, fat hippo mother, Queenie. Since Jamila was released, she's always tried to show kindness towards humans. She's very gentle for a hippo since she was born in a zoo, but still has hippo instincts. She has developed a taste for human from hunting and eating poachers that kill hippos and other protected African animals. She weighs 3,000 pounds and stands at 5’3 on 4 legs with 4 toed stubby feet. She has a thick hippo snout with nostrils on each side, with short whiskers on the sides on her snout and on her chin. Like all hippos, she can open her jaws at 150 degrees. Inside her jaw, she has 4 top incisors. At the bottom are lower tusks on each side, with two teeth that stick out front. She has 12 molars each on the top and bottom of the back of her jaw near her throat entrance. Hippos are able to hold their breath underwater for up to 5 minutes or longer. A hippo will close it's nostrils with it's nasal muscles and fold it's ears back to prevent any water from getting inside. She cannot speak while underwater, since she is her holding her breath. She has two large hippo udders below her stomach.

Respiratory Protection: They tightly seal their nasal passages, which are designed to hold their breath while underwater.

Sensory Placement: Their eyes, ears, and nostrils are on top of their head, allowing them to breathe and monitor surroundings while mostly submerged. "Seal" Mechanism: When resurfacing, the nostrils open wide to release air, and the ears pop upright.

Submergence Time: They can remain underwater for three to five minutes, or even longer, before needing to come up for air.

While they are highly aquatic, hippos cannot swim and often walk along the bottom of a river or move through the water by pushing off the bottom.

Like all hippos, Jamila has a three-chambered stomach. The parietal blind sac, the forestomach, and the glandular stomach. There is no stomach acid in the first two stomach chambers.

Three-Chambered Stomach:

Parietal Blind Sac: This is a blind sac, or a pouch, where food is mixed and blended into a soup-like substance.

Forestomach: This chamber acts as a connecting tissue between the parietal blind sac and the glandular stomach.

Glandular Stomach: This chamber secretes enzymes (like pepsin for protein breakdown) and stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) that kill bacteria and break down solids. It also connects the stomach to the intestines.
