they are primarilly herbivores, they graze at night on shore
however they will eat an antelope if the oportunity arrises
or anything else that falls in the water near enough.
crocodiles avoid them!

Normally no, a hippo will not eat you, but they will kill you if you step foot on their territory as they are fiercely territorial animals. They are one of the most dangerous animals in Africa and are responsible for more human deaths than any other mammal. Hippos are herbivores and only consume plant matter. However, during times of the year when vegetation is scarce they have been known to consume flesh. I have seen one scavenge a buffalo carcass from a pride of lions.

Mostly hippo eats grass, not only on earth but even in the deep sea for which he may even con troll his breath for 6 minutes.Generally he wish to eat soft grass on stones.But some time it is seen that he may eat meat no doubt it is very rare.

They are herbivores. They primarily eat grass, fruits, moss etc. The hippo in our city zoo eats nuts, grass, fruits & even food that we eat.
