Both a hippo and a lion are mammals.The size of the hippopotamus is very large, second only to elephants and rhinos among mammals, so it is much larger than lions in terms of size.In terms of strength, the hippopotamus is also more powerful than the lion.Especially the bite force of hippos is very strong, they have sharp tusks, which can play an important role in dealing with their enemies.Hippos are not only very aggressive, but also have very effective means of protecting themselves, such as their skin is very thick, even if a group of lions attack hippos, they can not easily bite this thick skin.
In fact, hippos often move in the water and are more adapted to the environment in the water.If the hippopotamus and the lion are both in the water, then the environment is even more favorable for the hippopotamus, and it is easier for the hippo to beat the lion at this time.
As mentioned above, the hippopotamus can beat the lion because they are bigger than the lion, and their bite force is very strong, so they are more aggressive.It can be seen that hippos are more powerful than lions.Lions usually attack other animals in groups, but even so, they cannot easily defeat a hippopotamus.However, if a group of lions are hungry for a long time, they will become more crazy, in which case a group of lions may win over hippos, but this is not very often.
All of these are adult hippos.If a young hippopotamus is compared with a lion, the lion is more powerful.In real life, lions do sometimes attack underage hippos and eat them when they are injured.
