In water, Hippopotamus. On land, Rhinoceros.
In the air?
A whale, or possibly a bowl of petunias
I wish I could understand what went though the bowl of petunias’ mind when it thought ‘not again’ though…
I just read about this! The bowl of petunias was an incarnation of Agrajag. “Not again” referred to being killed by Arthur. Again.
Nice!!
What the fuck is this thread
They’re referring to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Specifically, they’re talking about a creature (the bowl of petunias created high above the surface of an airless world as a byproduct of a star drive powered by improbability) who has reincarnated many, many times, but in every life is killed by an otherwise inoffensive and constantly bewildered British man.
Depends who hits the ground second.
Elephino!

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)
Idk about rhinos but hippos can be pretty grumpy too
Hippos are crazy territorial, so my money would be on them. It’s hard to imagine a rhino losing the battle, but the pure unfiltered rage of a hippopotamus when you trespass his territory will frighten even the boldest of rhinos.
Rhinos are territorial enough to try to fight elephants. They lose, but they try.

I didn’t know that, but in that case i think there are 2 scenarios that are interesting - a matchup of the ones most capable of winning a fight, and a matchup of the most common ones.

I’m not a large water dwelling mammal, where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Depends on who’s Kung Fu is stronger.
Rhino’s have low intelligence, can’t swim (well), hace poor eyesight, and are smaller. My money’s on the Hippo.

I’m surprised everyone is betting on hippos.
Rhinos are bigger (generally), heavier, move faster, have collagen armor, and have a horn.

Try getting angry at 3,500kg of pointy faced Rhino moving at 50kmh and see how much that helps.

Oh ok that’s settled then.
Look at those chompers!
It would likely be counterproductive to try to bite a charging rhino.
It depends who is hungrier.
I’ve been led to believe it is hippos who are hungry
So where are these hungry hungry hippos?
Looking for food, probably.
Is this a game to you?
The most dangerous game.
It’s so interesting how they only eat little plastic marbles.
Hit those plungers until they break, best board game, deserves many editions and adaptations, like Monopoly.

Those ravenous ravenous rhinos.
Does the rhino get prep time?
I wanted them to do this face off on the short lived Animal Face-Off on Animal Planet!
Was that the show with the green wireframe CGI animals that they would show duking it out and eating wireframe people?
Hell yeah it was awesome to middle school me.
