Yeah, what's all this 'Mantis Shrimp is the world's hardest creature' bollocks? Unless it's twenty feet tall and thirty feet long then in a fight with a hippo a hippo will simply tread on it and .... well let's see how ****ing it is then. The clue is in the name - 'shrimp'. Now a Mantis Hippo on the other hand .....
Yeah, valid point. Let's face it a rhino v hippo fight is something we'd all pay good money to see - except the Guardian-reading do-gooders would probably ban it on Cruelty grounds or Health and Safety or summat.Yeah Hippo's are good but RHINO'S are bigger, faster and have a bloody great big spike at the front. A rhino would do a hippo, no probs.
Despite the rhino OBVIOUSLY being the better killing machine, I guess the WHA is about attitude, and this video suggests that the hippo (although outgunned) will face down a rhino. I bow to your superior knowledge in hippo/rhino affairs.Only in the cartoons, rhinos in reality are timid things - probably partly why they're going extinct
PS that spike at the front is actually just hair.
Yeah Hippo's are good but RHINO'S are bigger, faster and have a bloody great big spike at the front. A rhino would do a hippo, no probs.
Hippo's get sunburnt really easily though, that makes them the Gingers of the animal Kingdom.
Genuinely interesting Hippo/Rhino debate,
I'm siding with the Hippo, here's why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7mUYJQDad4
Notice how the Rhino gives it the big one and gets all up in the young Hippo's grill, when the big dad Hippo rolls into town it's a different story.
OK. I have a fact that should settle this debate.
"Hippos kill more people each year than lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinos combined."
Hippo's are ****ing nut jobs.
Hippo Vs Honey Badger anyone?
