Hippos are widely distributed in the African Continent. They were found even in Europe long time ago, but were extirpated. These days, they are found in good numbers in rivers and lakes of Uganda, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa etc. They usually prefer rivers or permanent water sources which are nearby lush green grasslands.
