Results: House Hippos!
The North American house hippo can be found in households throughout Canada and United States. They are very tiny and usually live in bedroom closets that are made out of lost mittens and bits of string. Many people do not see house hippos throughout the day, as they usually sleep for about 16 hours. At night-time when the house hippos are ready to eat, they will go into the kitchen and look for their favorite food (e.g. cereal and chips).
