Tuli käytyä kokemassa Jyväskylän Hippoksella uuden pesäpallostadionin ensimmäinen Superpesis-ottelu Kirittäret-Pesäkarhut. Päättyi kotijoukkueen 1-0-voittoon.
Uusi stadion maksoi yli 8 miljoonaa euroa. Katsomon 1500 istumapaikkaa täyttyivät tässä pelissä äärimmilleen, ja lisäksi paikalla oli seisomapaikoilla reilut sata katsojaa.

For this third day of #MegafaunaMay, we are looking at the #hippopotamus. This #megafauna can weigh up to 10,000 pounds and reach over 16 feet in length. Although its social systems revolve around access to water, it is also adapted to land, able to run hundreds of yards at speeds approaching 20 mph. These massive herbivores also rely on water to cool themselves, as their skin secretes red sunscreen instead of sweat.
#Hippos are very social, and spend their days resting in pools of water with their herds. They communicate with a wide variety of sounds, including a warning honk which can reach 115 decibels–about as loud as a siren–and produces sound in both air and water at the same time. At night, hippopotamus herds leave their pools to graze on grasses, consuming over 1% of their body weight and returning to their pools by dawn. Male hippos are protective of their herds, resting on the outside edges of pools while females control the center. Males will fight for dominance and use their large, flat tails to spread dung around, marking their territories.
Although hippos rarely eat meat, they possess formidable incisors which are used for defense and fighting. Hippopotami can open their jaws to a whopping 150 degrees wide, and can snap them shut with over 8000 newtons newtons of bite force, making them one of the most dangerous animals to humans–though most hippo attacks occur when humans get too close to young or pregnant members of a herd.

It's #WorldHippoDay! 🦛 Did you know #hippos have been classed as a Vulnerable species by @redlisteco?
A key threat to hippos is habitat loss, caused by an increase in urban areas 🏙️. How can we protect #biodiversity in a world with 10 billion people?
