No. For one, saltwater crocodiles don't live where hippos do, and it's rare for a saltwater to get over 33.3 feet in length, or at least find one and verify it. The highest recorded length of a salty is only around 25 feet long. And really, the length of a croc as absolutely NOTHING to do with how capable it is of killing a larger animal like a hippo!!

Elephants are much bigger. The world's largest saltwater crocodile is 23 ft long and 3000 pounds. The elephant can grow 3-8 tons.

No. Hippos can still grow to be a bit larger than even the largest species of croc in the world.

A male hippo versus a male croc, gotta go with the hippo. They have been seen killing crocs. crocs rule.i have seen hippos cant stand a chance against saltwater crocodile nor nile crocodile. you seem to notice that crocs are eaten by anacondas.but crocs which are eaten are caimans. anaconda cant eat big huge crocs. The two normally avoid each other, but adult hippos, especially males, will drive crocs away from the area if the croc appears to become aggressive. Male hippos do kill crocs.
