Hippos don't have very many enemies, if any, especially the adults. Hippo calves are more prone to getting eaten by lions, hyenas or crocodiles, or getting killed by a rampaging bull hippo. Calves are also known to be getting killed when a large number of adult hippos are conglomerating in such a small area that there is much dissent among them. Bull hippos will often fight to the death over mating rights. A hippo that is weak, sick or too injured to put up much of a fight is often preyed upon by lions and hyenas or, if it's in the water, crocodiles.
