The hippopotamus is a strong symbol, one that teaches us courage and calmness in the midst of adversity. While the image of a charging hippo is anything but calm, their “resting” state is one of complete alertness. They observe their environment calmly, and react only when needed. They are excellent guardians, and they clearly know what to do when action is warranted.

As a spirit animal, the hippo is a beacon of imagination. Its multiple facets tell us that our lives need not be one-sided, and we have the power to stir things up when we want to. The hippo lives both on land and in water. It can be fun and playful one moment, menacing in the other. It can mingle fearlessly with other animals, even would-be predators, because it is sure of itself. This is something we could learn from, as there are times when life seems to be dictating our every move. The hippo is there to remind us that movement comes from within, not from the world outside

These are all primarily maternal instincts, and this is also why the hippo is the perfect animal symbol for mothers. Not only do they sport characteristics essential to caring for their young, but their girth have also gained them the symbolism of fertility since ancient times.
