No, the elephant is not a hippopotamus. The hippo is what is called an even-toed ungulate, an Artiodactyla. And, believe it or not, it's related to pigs, camels, deer, goats, cattle and the like. And it gets better! Elephants are mammals (like hippos) of the clade Afrotheria, and animals in this group include the moles, the shrews, the tenrecs, the aardvarks, the hyraxes and the manatees.

Contrary to popular belief, a mongoose has been know to outfight both an elephant and an African hippopotamous... at the same time. It also beat Chuck Norris in a one-on-one arm Wrestling match. that particular mongoose now resides in Beverly hills, where he is now the bodyguard of Julia Roberts.

For Elephants-An approximately 20-year-old Asian elephant cow weighs 3500 - 4500 kg on average, and measures around 2.6 metres at the back. An elephant bull weighs about 5000 - 6500 kg and measures around 3 metres at the back.

For Hippos-Weight: males-3,500 to 9,920 pounds (1,600 to 4,500 kilograms); females-average 3,000 pounds (1,400 kilograms)Length: 10.8 to 16.5 feet (3.3 to 5 meters)

So the answer depends on male or female or by weight and height.

Weight: Male- Hippo

Height: Elephants

Length: Hippos

Hope that helps!
