-'''Bopapodamuses'''<ref>"Bonus Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref> are hippopotamus-like creatures that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They only appear in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world where they appear in several [[level]]s.
+'''Bopapodamuses''' are a tree-climbing hippopotamus-like species that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They only appear in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world where they appear in many of its [[level]]s.
-The Bopapodamuses are minor obstacles that the [[Kong]]s must jump on in order to get through gaps the Kongs cannot jump across; however, they can only jump on the Bopapodamus four times, after that it falls into the [[Pit|abyss]], likely taking out the Kongs with it. If the Kongs do not make direct contact with the Bopapodamus's head, it will simply swat them away, causing them to fall and lose a [[Extra life|life]].
+During the levels, the [[Kong]]s must jump on the Bopapodamuses to get across large gaps. The Kongs can only jump on a Bopapodamus four times: after that it falls into the [[Pit|abyss]], leaving the Kongs vulnerable to also falling down. If the Kongs do not directly jump on a Bopapodamus's head, it swats them down into the pit, causing them to lose a [[Extra life|life]].
