Hippos typically feed during the evening.
Often times during the day, they'll find a nice sandy place to lay around on if they are not in their pool.

We occasionally will see one lonely hippo grazing during the day. It was quite unusual for us to see several hippos grazing directly next to their pool during the day.

The migration is over and the wildebeest have successfully shortened all the grass. Perhaps the hippos aren't getting enough food during the evenings so they are having to supplement their intake?
