Hippos are not normally carnivorous. They mostly eat plants, and by and large act as herbivores. Hippos are omnivorous though, and can become opportunistic predators. In times of drought, Hippos have been known to scavenge dead animals, hunt and kill animals to eat, and even have had bouts of cannibalism.
