Hard to believe but the mighty Hippopotamus does not hunt at all! The Hippo is actually a herbivore meaning it does not eat meat at all.

The Hippo is mainly active at night and can be found grazing along the river banks and surrounding grasslands throughout most of Africa.

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.
