Crocodiles are a kind of ferocious animals that we are more familiar with. They are very large in size, have sharp teeth, and have relatively strong bite force. Therefore, they have particularly strong predatory ability and can use many animals as their own food. Hippopotamus is also a kind of animal that can move in the water, their size is relatively large, but also has a very good bite, because their teeth are also very sharp, sometimes after being provoked by humans may bite off human boats.
Compared with the two, crocodiles can't beat hippos. In terms of size, hippos are huge, although sometimes not longer than crocodiles, but the overall size and weight will be larger than crocodiles. Moreover, from the comparison of bite force, hippos are also better. When crocodiles encounter hippos in the water, they usually dare not take the initiative to provoke them, because they usually can not beat hippos. On the other hand, when hippos encounter crocodiles, they may attack them. Although the crocodile's body is protected by scales, the hippo's teeth can bite through this layer of scales. However, if the crocodile encounters a juvenile hippopotamus, then the crocodile may be fierce.
The above has been introduced, generally speaking, crocodiles can not beat hippopotamus, so it is more powerful hippo. Whether it is from the size of the comparison, or from the teeth of the bite force to compare, are more powerful hippos. However, whether the crocodile or the hippo is powerful depends on the specific situation. If an adult crocodile is compared with a juvenile hippo, the crocodile is naturally more powerful. In fact, crocodiles sometimes eat young hippos for food.
