White Rhinoceros vs. Hippopotamus (Both The Real World)

[Pygmy_Hippo_2]

Not sure why this hasn't been done before but here's the fight between the two biggest herbivores in Africa excluding the Elephant. Fight takes place on the banks of the Nile River but either party can enter the water. Win by death of the other herbivore.

White Rhinoceros:1

Hippopotamus:0

Inconclusive:3

Since it says it is in the water ( nile river) I believe the hippo woould have the edge. Hippos can serverely damage other hippos with their jaws/teeth. Rhino's have the weight advantage but in the water the hippo has every other advantage. The rhino can't charge and being in water it's horn is useless because of the way they swim.


1 for hippo

I gave the Hippo the home court advantage due to speed and lifting strength disadvantage but I should probably make it a fight on the Nile River banks so the Hippo can use the water but the Rhino doesn't have to go in.

then its a stalemate if neither approach. land goes to rhino because it can charge, water goes to hippo because rhino cant use horn

If they both start on Nile bank then rhino could possibly get the win before the hippo gets in the water, but the hippo may lure the rhino into the water and get the win. This is tough but I'm going to go for rhinoceros.

Wait... I've seen a hippo **** up a rhino out of the water before.

Assuming we'll allow this necro, Incon? I mean the hippo pretty wont kill the rhino on land, but the moment it goes for the water, it won't lose.
