Both hippos and elephants belong to mammals, and they are very large mammals in terms of size.Hippos usually can't beat elephants.In terms of size, hippopotamus is the third largest mammal, after elephants and rhinoceroses; Elephants are the largest, much larger than hippos.The aggression of hippos is mainly reflected in their teeth, because their bite force is relatively strong.However, when the hippopotamus in the face of elephants, because the size difference is too great, they can not bite the vital parts of the elephant, they can only attack the legs of the elephant, generally speaking, can not beat the elephant.
On the contrary, elephants are much faster and more powerful than hippos on land, and their tusks and trunks are so aggressive that it is easy to defeat hippos.
The above has been introduced, hippopotamus is generally not able to beat the elephant, hippo and elephant compared to the elephant more powerful.From the comparison of body size, elephants are much larger than hippos.The height of hippopotamus is only more than 1 meter, while the height of elephant is 2-4 meters, much higher than that of hippopotamus; In terms of weight, elephants are also much heavier than hippos.In terms of aggression, hippos have a strong bite, but because they are short, they can only bite the legs of elephants, sometimes even the legs of elephants can not bite, because elephants will use ivory and trunk to defend themselves, attack and defense capabilities are very strong.It can be seen that elephants are more powerful than hippos.
However, when the elephant is relatively small, if you fight with an adult hippopotamus, then the hippopotamus is more powerful.In real life, there are also cases of hippos eating young elephants.
