They live in the continent of Africa. They might be found in swampy areas, lakes, rivers, and streams.
Hippos live in Africa. They spend most of their day in a lake/river because the weather is very hot and dry. Hippos leave the water every sunset and travel about 1-3 miles to graze.
Hippopotamuses are herbivores. They prefer soft grasses and shrubs growing close to the ground, such as ferns. They also eat some aquatic plants, reeds, leaves and fallen nuts or fruits. In one night, a hippo may consume in excess of 45.5kg (100 lbs) of grass. They come out of the water at night to grass and return to the water by day. Their feces provide an important source of food for fish that share the water with them.
Hippopotamuses have been known to eat cultivated crops such as sugar cane and corn.
Despite some reports of hippos eating meat and even carrion, the stomach of a hippopotamus is not suited to feeding on meat. Carnivorous habits are not the norm, but rather, the exception.
Hippos predominantly stay in the Water most of the time. They leave water around dusk and travel inland to forage. They go up to 5 miles from the river to feed. Their main diet is grass. They spend around four to five hours in a day grazing and can eat up to 68 kilograms of grass each night. That works out to nearly 150 pounds of grass every night. They also consume aquatic plants in small amounts.
