Hippopotas loves to eat grass and plants! 🥬

It uses its big mouth to chomp on the greenery found near rivers and lakes. Since Hippopotas spends a lot of time in the water, it often munches on aquatic plants, too! They are herbivores, which means they only eat plants. When they eat, they sometimes create a big splash in the water, which can be great fun to watch! 🌊

Their strong jaws help them break tough plants for their meals.

When Hippopotas become adults, they can have babies called Hippopotas babies or "Hippopotas hatchlings." 🍼 The female Hippopotas carries her young for about 11 months before giving birth.
