The hippopotamus is a herbivorous animal native to rivers, lakes and wetlands in Africa. They are the second largest land mammal in the world, second only to elephants. Hippos are huge in size, and an adult hippo can weigh more than 1.5 tons. Their main food is grass, and they usually go out to forage at night. Hippos usually feed on large amounts of grass, and their digestive system is able to process plants efficiently. Their diet is essential to maintaining their huge size. Hippos have a very large food intake, and a hippo can eat tens of kilograms of grass every day. The hippo in the Hippo Yard Ornament embodies the characteristics of this huge creature.
