Are hippos used in circuses

Hippos are not commonly used in circuses due to their size, temperament, and specific care requirements. While some circuses may feature a variety of exotic animals, the use of hippos raises significant ethical concerns regarding their welfare and the safety of both the animals and the audience. Many countries have enacted stricter regulations or outright bans on the use of wild animals in circuses, further diminishing the likelihood of hippos being included in such performances.
