The adult hippo's only real enemy (other than man) is his pool mate. They bite, maim, and kill each other. The bulls fight over females in breeding season and quarrel over water space at all times, especially in dry season. When seen yawning, a hippo may actually be threatening another hippo or just telling him beet it you shrimp.

Lions, Crocodiles, and Humans all eat Hippos. However, the chief predator of Hippos are humans, who will hunt them for their meat, their hide, as well as their ivory teeth.
