2 hippos?

    I have only seen solo hippos thus far. I know they are together in the water, but is it common for them to be together on land as well?

    Hippos live in groups and spend time together in and near water during the day. At night they come out and tend to disperse to feed. That's probably why you frequently only see one hippo at a time. But it's reasonable to see them near their herdmates on land if there's plenty of food to be had.
