Hippos, one of the largest of the land mammals in existence; can weigh up to 3 tons. Their symbolic history goes back to Ancient Egypt and they were highly revered by the Egyptians as a powerful, strong, and "bull" like protection. The word Hippo itself is from ancient Greek for "River Horse". If the Hippo is your Totem, certainly your attention is on power and moving through life in a powerful way.
