Hippopotas lives in arid places. It enshrouds itself with sand to protect itself from germs. Instead of perspiration, it expels grainy sand from its body. It does not enjoy getting wet. Hippopotas shuts its nostrils tight, then travels through the sand as if its walking. They form colonies of around ten.
