The hippopotamus does not have many predators due to their large size and aggressive nature. They do have a few predators such as lions and crocodiles.
Hippopotamus are herbivores, eating primarily grass (about 250 lbs a day). Hippopotamuses only known predators are humans, who poach them for their meat and ivory teeth. Although lions, crocodiles and hyenas may prey on the young.
Hippos have no natural predators. Young may be prone to attacks from crocs and lions, but nothing will dare face a full-grown hippo, male or female.
The hippopotamus is the third-largest land mammal and is found in Africa. They have very few known predators. Crocodiles, lions and hyenas may attack young hippos, but generally stay away from adult hippos.
