The hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) spend most of their time in the water.Adult hippos typically resurface to breathe every 3–5 minutes. The process of surfacing and breathing is automatic, and even a hippo sleeping underwater will rise and breathe without waking. A hippo closes its nostrils when it submerges.
