Thlckest Skin OF Any Animal.

The skin of hippopotamus is about
the thicke,t covering worn by any
animal on earth. That Of the whale
is only slightly thicker, but then the
whale lives in the sea and not upon
the earth. BY reason of this thick hide
the hippopotamus can laugh at or.
dinary bullets, which merely tickle
him unless they strike him in
the eye, the nostrils or the ears.
Therefore, when shooting hippopo-
tami, the sportsman uses ex.
piosiVe bullets with sharp steel points.
