Hippopotamus gorgops is an extinct species of hippopotamus. It first appeared in Africa during the late Pliocene, and eventually migrated into Europe during the early Pleistocene (where its fossils were first discovered). It became extinct during the Middle Pleistocene.[1] Fossil records found at Ubeidiya, Israel suggested that they migrated out of Africa around 1.6 million years ago.[2] Some have speculated that H. gorgops and H. behemoth are actually the same species given their similar sizes and where they have been found [3] scientist believe it behaved almost identical to modern day hippopotamuses.
