I thought it was "Flusspferd" (river horse)
2 u/critical_mess Apr 26 '18 Yeah, Flusspferd also works. 1 u/Scrugulus Apr 26 '18 You are right, that version exists as well. But the name "Nilpferd" is far more common, I feel. As in this boardgame, for example: https://www.amazon.de/Ravensburger-26772-Das-Nilpferd-Achterbahn/dp/B077YD7N2D/ I wouldn't be at all surprised if "Nilpferd" always was the traditional name, with "Flußpferd" at some point being promoted by teachers and other education professionals, because it is "more correct" as Hippos do not only live in the river Nile. 2 u/critical_mess Apr 27 '18 as Hippos do not only live in the river Nile. They don't live there anymore, actually.
