My money is on hippo every day of the week. You'd have to find a freak specimen of a rhino to compete with even an average hippo.
Rhino weight range: 1,320 - 2,090 pounds
Hippo weight range: 2,900 - 4,000 pounds
Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm seeing in my googling that MOST rhino species are more massive than hippos.
It varies depending on rhino species but rhinos are generally larger.
Largest land mammals are elephant > rhino > hippo.
White rhinos are often over 3,500kg.
Huh. I guess I thought rhinos were bigger. Well I bet one could take on a pygmy hippo!
Idk about rhinos but hippos can be pretty grumpy too
