A hippo calf is raised by its mother. Like all mammals, the mother nurses the calf until it is old enough to live on only solid foods; in their case, that food is grass. The mother also protects the calf from predators such as crocodiles, lions, hyenas, and leopards. Hippo fathers have nothing to do with their offspring.
