One would assume they have a natural lifespan from about 20-40 years more in Zoos- in not-too-distant times some morons used to toss spent flashbulbs ( from now-obsolete camera flashguns) into the Hippo"s drinking water, which the stupid beasts drank and it ruptured their digestive organs- yecch. progress in Photography- higher speed films, strobe flashes- even digital have eliminated this man-made and rather inept (hazard).l

Depends on if you mean IN the water or underwater.

Hippos will stay in the water basically until the get hungry and needs to go ashore to eat.

Underwater, they'll usually resurface in about 5 minutes to breathe.
