Are hippopotamus carnivores

Answer 1

Hippos are omnivorous animals though they don't eat meat.Many People have seen and videotaped hippos eating meat.

Most people don't know they eat meat so they just say they are a herbivorous animal.

Answer 2

Yes, hippopotomuses are vegetarians. In fact, as herbivores they are pure vegetarians or vegans. Hippos dispel the myth that herbivores are somehow at the "bottom" of the food chain, implying that they are there only to be eaten by carnivores. They also dispel the myth that plants have inferior protein, and therefore can't build muscle. There are many incidents that people have been killed by being bitten or trampled over by hippos. Finally, they dispel the myth that possession of canine teeth makes an animal a carnivore. Hippos have the longest canine teeth of any land animal, and they are completely herbivorous.

Yes, they are indeed omnivores.

One episode shows a hippo munching on an antelope after stealing it away from a croc.
Amazingly yes. Hippos are usually vegetarians, grazing on grasses at night. But if the door is open for red meat, the hippo will never pass up the chance.

Ex. During the great migration, after the river crossing the home of crocodiles and hippos become a watery graveyard. Then the dinner bell is rung for not only crocodiles but hippos. And fresh meat is the main course.
