In short, San Angeloâs Animal Shelter and its rescue groups cannot address â nor fix â the communityâs pet overpopulation. We need the publicâs help; we need more responsible pet ownership. Itâs time San Angelo did right by its pets and the community by stemming the proliferation of unwanted animals. Free viewers are required for some of the attached documents.

The average weight of the hippopotamus male measures around 1.500 â 1.800 kg (3,300 â 4,000 lb). Males are slightly heavier as compared to females. However, females weigh around 1,300 â 1,500 kg (2,900 â 3,300 lb).
Females are much lower in weight and weigh between 1300 to 1500 kilograms which works out to around 3000 pounds. Adult Males weighing around 3000 to 4000 kilograms have also been seen and recorded. Male hippos grow throughout their lives and that is why they can grow to such huge weights.
