:That is a useful place to start, but Misplaced Pages requires information to be available in reliable and independent publicastions.

Under the section titled "evolution" in the sentence "One branch would evolve into cetaceans, possibly beginning about 52 million years ago, with the protowhale Pakicetus and other early whale ancestors collectively known as Archaeoceti." Only the "52" in "52 million years ago" is highlighted and linked to a timeline. For constancies sake along with more pleasing formatting, change to include all of "52 million years ago" within the link as opposed to just "52". RawryUwU (talk) 17:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

ADD The oldest hippopotamus is captivity is Lu at the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park who recently celebrated his 64th birthday. Meowmeowrawr (talk) 14:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, there is no zoo section. This paragraph at the end of "Characteristics" is talking about the oldest hippos in captivity, and as this too has to do with the oldest hippo currently in captivity, it felt like the appropriate place. Meowmeowrawr (talk) 16:31, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
Done: I agree with Meowmeowrawr here as it is true that this section ends regarding age records for hippopotamuses. Otherwise it would belong in § In zoos. — Urro17:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I sent a request email the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma, asking how many bones does their skeleton on display have because I couldn’t find that information anywhere online and if theirs was a complete model. I got a replay back from their Director of Museum Operations & Education confirming that yes their’s was complete and that it was counted to have 219 bones. Thought this might be helpful and here is there information to fact check.

That is a useful place to start, but Misplaced Pages requires information to be available in reliable and independent publicastions. Perhaps you could persuade the Director to publish a scientific note on the skeleton of the Hippopotamus that could then be used here as a source? Regretably a conversation even in writing or email is not sufficient and would count as original research. Thanks Velella22:29, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
level-4 vital article is rated FA-class on Misplaced Pages's content assessment scale.
Not done: The requested change would require a modification to the {{mya}} template. See that template for documentation. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:06, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Not done for now: Where exactly should this be added? Also, I wouldn't advise using "recently" here. Review MOS:RELTIME.
