hippos live in southern Asia
In my species, for most of the year the males and females live in separate groups. Between December and March, the males then try to conquer a group of females. They do this by fighting with each other!
I eat mostly grass, but also bushes, flowers, seeds, leaves and buds. I live mostly on open grasslands, with low trees and bushes.
