OK there are two species, we have the most common here and they are one of the five sub- species that exist in Africa.
So, what species are our hippos, and what is the other main species?
Bonus point, apart from Africa, where else apart from in a zoo will you find wild hippos?

From elementary chemistry in school in the highlands, boiling water seemed to do it. The headmaster had some odd ideas for the 1950s, he showed us how to make gun cotton(don't know what it's called nowadays,if it even exists). Why? God knows.

Cordite is now obsolete and it is no longer produced.
