the hippo would totally win. because there is no way this fight would be happening away from the water. and rhinos are blind as fuck.

From what I understand..
Rhinoceroses are, by nature, Rash and aggressive with very poor eye sight.
Hippos are violent but spend a large portion of there lives fighting each other and have demonstrated the capacity to kill crocodiles.
I think a rhino would immediately charge and likely kill a hippo on impact. I doubt the hippo would "dodge" anything, and I know Rhinos have poor eyesight, but it's simply hard to miss a hippo, even with excessively bad eyesight.
Rhinos kill each other more than any other animal. I think Hippos would suffer the same fate.
I give this one to the Rhino. Assuming this is on land, because rhino's can't swim.

I don't think crocs do anything the help the hippos case. Humans have shown the ability to wrestle a croc. Tigers can kill crocs. What I do think helps the hippos case are its teeth. Hippos use their mouth to fight one another, and by nature are more agressive than rhinos.

Lol that made me laugh
hippos are more aggressive but still not as rash, Rhinoceroses can be observed charging trees swaying in the breeze, or funny looking bushes. And that horn is a deadly weapon.
Either way, Rhinos and Hippos are genetically very similar. Along with elephants.

this isn't really a fair argument.
If its out of the water the Rhinos going to pwn
whats the hippo going to do, bite his horn when he charges at him?
and in the water.
well shit
the hippo could just sit and watch. the fucking rhino is going to drown. lol

Danny's right
Rhinos have been clocked at 40mph that horn it going to simply desecrate The hippo, On Land.
The hippo would thrash the rhino in the water.
Hippos leave water very few times in any given day. Rhinos spend there lives without going in water. Tough comparison.

I dont really imagine this fight taking place with each animal starting across the savannah from one another. How many confrontations in the wild do?

Well hippos don't leave the water during the day because there skin is so sensitive to the sun. and rhinos don't do anything at night.
so in reality these animals probably don't even confront eachother.
Once again.
this fight is a fail lol
