Crocodiles are known as the overlords of the water, so why are hippos never afraid of crocodiles?

The overlord crocodile in the water didn't dare to provoke the hippopotamus, and when he saw the hippopotamus's ** appearance, he instantly understood.

Now we know why crocodiles and hippos are in the same river, but crocodiles don't attack hippos.

Because the hippopotamus is also very strong in chewing, and the hippopotamus is also very strong in attack, the hippopotamus has the ability to deal with crocodiles.

Although crocodiles are particularly ferocious, hippos are even more ferocious, and crocodiles can't kill hippos, hippos have very thick skin, so hippos are definitely not afraid of crocodiles.

Because hippos are larger than crocodiles and can trample crocodiles to death with one foot, hippos are not afraid of crocodiles at all.

Because the hippopotamus is larger, and its skin is thicker, and the crocodile's main food is not the hippopotamus, these two animals are not natural predators, and the hippopotamus is not afraid of it.

Because of its large size and amazing bite, hippos can pierce the scale armor of crocodiles with a single bite, and hippos are also social animals that will attack them in groups when in danger. The hippopotamus is the second largest mammal on land after the elephant, with a large and clumsy body, a body length of 350-450 cm, a tail length of about 56 cm, and a weight of 3000-3500 kg, but it is relatively short, with very short limbs, and the shoulder height is only 140-165 cm, which is less than half the height of the elephant.

It has a stout head and a particularly large mouth, larger than that of any animal on land, and can open at a 90-degree angle. The teeth in the mouth are also very large, the incisors and canines are fang-shaped, which are the main ** of the attack, the lower incisors do not grow upwards, but stick out parallel to the front like a shovel, with a length of up to 60-70 cm and a weight of 2-3 kg, and the length of the canines is also about 75 cm.

What's the power? Not to mention anything else, the weight of the hippopotamus alone is a threat to the crocodile, which can squash the crocodile. Let's talk about the two fangs of the hippopotamus, that's not an ornament!

According to TV reports, a hippopotamus can bite an antelope directly to death, a crocodile can bite directly into two, and the hippopotamus has a bite force of more than a ton (1134kg), do you think about how lethal this is? Crocodiles don't dare to mess with hippos in Africa, and they all actively avoid hippos, with the exception of baby hippos. For the hippopotamus, the crocodile's pointed and long mouth is like a clip, anyway, the hippopotamus has thick skin, and a bite of the hippopotamus is nothing.

You may not know that hippos have another **, that is, irritable. In fact, the most murderous people in Africa are not crocodiles, lions and leopards, or hippos, and you can imagine how terrifying hippos are.

There are two reasons why it does not eat hippos, one is because the hippopotamus's skin is too thick for crocodiles to bite; The second is that the hippopotamus is short-tempered, and the crocodile is not an opponent when it comes to fighting.

Because the hippopotamus is very large, the hippopotamus is a social animal, the hippopotamus has a very strong attack, the hippopotamus has a very large mouth, and the bite force of the hippopotamus's mouth is very strong.

Why don't crocodiles eat hippos?

Hello, I am inquiring for you here, please wait a while, I will reply to you immediately Dear, hello, I am happy to answer for you. The reason why the hippopotamus is not afraid of crocodiles is because of its large size and strong combat effectiveness, and crocodiles do not dare to provoke crocodiles, but only hunt young hippos, and the cortex of hippos is very thick, and the body size is relatively large, and crocodiles are difficult to eat. Hippos basically have no natural predators in the water, and if they are on land, the main natural predators are big cats, such as lions and hyenas.

Hippos and crocodiles are stronger in the water, the disadvantages of the crocodile on the shore of the whole body will be exposed, if the hippopotamus is out of the water for a long time, it will dry out, because they are originally a semi-aquatic animal, almost always go ashore at night to look for food, the direct sun is long during the day, almost all in the water, the hippopotamus's fat body makes it look like its limbs are thicker, but its teeth can reach 75 cm long, and it also has the largest mouth on land.
