Hippos are herbivores and eat plants/grasses. Hippos are also "opportunist carnivores". Meaning most of the time they are herbivores. However if they need to, for example if there is a food shortage, hippos have been known to scavenge dead animals or attack, drown and eat animals wandering close to water sources. Including humans. Hippos are also known to be cannibals, sometimes eating unwanted babies.
