I'm wondering which animal has the capability to prey on hippos. Considering hippos are quite large and powerful, it's intriguing to think about what kind of predator could possibly take them down.

Spotted hyenas are another predator of young hippos. They are opportunistic hunters and will take advantage of any weakness in hippo populations, including young and sick individuals.

Despite being preyed upon by these animals, adult hippos are not usually targeted by other predators. Their large size and aggressive nature make them formidable opponents, deterring most predators from attacking them.

There have been rare cases where large lion prides have successfully preyed on adult hippos. However, these incidents are generally uncommon, as adult hippos are highly defensive and capable of protecting themselves.

Lions are also known to prey on young hippos. Their strength and coordination allow them to hunt down and kill young hippos, especially when they are alone or separated from their families.
