Hippos are herbivores and their diet consists mainly of grass and some water plants. Hippos do most of their eating during the night, while during the day hippos spend most of their time basking in the sun on a sandbar or floating lazily in the water with just their ears, eyes, and nostrils, and perhaps their back and top of the head, exposed.

Hippos will often traverse steep riverbanks at night to graze on grass. They normally graze for approximately four to five hours each night, covering one or two miles, with extended wanderings of up to five miles. However, they do not usually venture far from the water.
