Large African mammal (5)

I believe the answer is:

hippo

(Other definitions for hippo that I've seen before include "Great beast" , "Augustine looked after" , "Wallowing mammal" , "Large semi-aquatic pachyderm (abbr)" , "Aquatic creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Times, The Mirror and The Guardian.
