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.
