The adult hippo's only real enemy (other than man) is his mate. They bite, maim, and kill each other. The bulls fight over females in breeding season.
Some people say that the main enemies of the hippo are crocodiles, lions and hyenas but I don't think they would dare attack an adult hippo.
Not much can live and take on a hippo. I did see on Animal Planet a crock take a baby hippo from it's mother, but she gave him a fight. They are really mean animals and hundreds of humans each year are attacked and killed by hippos.

∙ 9y agoMainly lions. The two species compete for many of the same prey species, and the bigger lion will kill hyenas. Hyenas retaliate by mobbing lions with overwhelming numbers, and driving the cats away.
Leopards also compete with hyenas, but this solo hunter usually will drag it's prey up a tree, out of reach of hyenas. A solitary hyena would have no chance against a determined leopard, but hyenas usually travel in groups, and will steal the leopard's prey if it is too large to lift into the trees.

Actually spotted hyenas and lions are actually mortal enemies because they are in direct competition for resources.

The more solitary brown or striped hyenas may be more susceptible to Leopard attacks.
