The species may graze for up to 5 hours per night, eating large amounts of plant matter, mostly small shoots, grasses, and reeds. The Hippo has enormous teeth, and its mouth can open 150 degrees wide. In general, this is a social species, that lives in groups of up to 100 individuals.
Video of hippos in the wild. Hippos are semiaquatic and require enough water to immerse in, while being close to grass. [36] They mostly live in freshwater habitat, but can be found in estuaries. [1]
