Awesome Hippo Facts
Hippos are HUGE!
• Adult hippos can weigh 3,000–4,000 pounds (1,400–1,800 kg). That’s as much as a small car!
They live in water… but can’t swim!
• Hippos spend most of their time in rivers and lakes. But they don’t actually swim — they walk or bounce along the bottom.
They love mud baths
• Mud helps keep their skin cool and safe from the sun. They also make mud puddles to nap in!
Hippos are herbivores
• They eat mostly grass and can munch up to 80 pounds in one night!
