00:00All is quiet. Or is it?
00:05The North American house hippo is found throughout Canada and the eastern United States.
00:11House hippos are very timid creatures and are rarely seen,
00:15but they will defend their territory if provoked.
00:18They come out at night to search for food, water, and materials for their nests.
00:23The favorite foods of the house hippo are chips, raisins, and the crumbs from peanut butter on toast.
00:30They build their nests in bedroom closets using lost mittens, dryer lint, and bits of string.
00:36The nests have to be very soft and warm.
00:39House hippos sleep about 16 hours a day.
00:43That looked really real, but you knew it couldn't be true, didn't you?
00:48That's why it's good to think about what you're watching on TV and ask questions,
00:52kind of like you just did.
