My money is on hippo every day of the week. You’d have to find a freak specimen of a rhino to compete with even an average hippo.

Rhino weight range: 1,320 - 2,090 pounds

Hippo weight range: 2,900 - 4,000 pounds

Maybe I’m missing something, but I’m seeing in my googling that MOST rhino species are more massive than hippos.

It varies depending on rhino species but rhinos are generally larger.

Largest land mammals are elephant > rhino > hippo.

White rhinos are often over 3,500kg.

Huh. I guess I thought rhinos were bigger. Well I bet one could take on a pygmy hippo!

weigh 180–275 kg (397–606 lb)
