Hippos are very large mammals, their adult body length can reach between 3.5 and 4.5 meters, and their weight can reach between 3000 and 3500 kilograms.Of all the mammals, the hippopotamus is one of the larger ones.Adult hippos can basically be said to have no natural enemies, because they are particularly large, fast, in the face of danger will also escape into the water, even large terrestrial animals can not do anything about it.Sometimes lions hunt and kill hippos. They may succeed in attacking hippos in groups, but if the hippos escape into the water, the lions have no way.
Although adult hippos can basically be said to have no natural enemies, but when hippos are still relatively few, they may be killed by other animals.For example, crocodiles, which also live in the water, are relatively large, and they may kill small crocodiles.In addition, human beings can also be said to be natural enemies of hippos, with the help of tools can kill hippos, human killing is also one of the important reasons for the decline in the number of hippos.
As mentioned above, hippopotamus is a very large animal.Bears are also relatively large mammals, but compared with hippos, they are still much worse, not as big as hippos.Compared with the bear, the hippo is more powerful.Whether in water or on land, adult hippos are very powerful, especially their bite force is amazing, can overcome bears.However, the bear is a carnivore, while the hippopotamus mainly eats grass, so the two generally do not conflict over food.In fact, the character of the bear itself is relatively mild, will not take the initiative to attack other creatures.
