Hippopotamuses primarily gather food by grazing on grasses during the night when they emerge from the water. They use their large mouths to uproot and consume significant amounts of vegetation, often eating around 80 pounds of grass per night. Their feeding usually takes place in shallow areas close to their aquatic habitats, allowing them to return to the water for safety and hydration. During the day, they remain submerged in water to keep cool and protect their skin from sunburn.
