* Tropical savannas: These are grasslands with scattered trees and shrubs.
* Wetlands: Hippos prefer areas with access to water, such as rivers, lakes, and swamps.
* Floodplains: These areas flood seasonally, providing rich vegetation and water sources.
Average Temperature:
The average temperature in these habitats varies depending on the specific location, but generally falls between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C).
Important Note: Hippos are highly adapted to their hot and humid environment. They are semi-aquatic and spend a significant amount of time in the water to regulate their body temperature.
