Best Answer

Hippos predominantly stay in the Water most of the time. They leave water around dusk and travel inland to forage. They go upto 5 miles from the river to feed. Their main diet is Grass. They spend around four to five hours in a day grazing and can eat upto 68 kilograms of grass each night. That works out to nearly 150 pounds of grass every night. They also consume aquatic plants in small amounts.
