The Hippopotamus is sometimes regarded as smaller than the White Rhinoceros, but most likely because it is a bit shorter in height. However, it is heavier. A fully grown male Hippopotamus may weigh as much as 5,000 pounds and reach 10 ft in body length. A female weighs no more than 3,800 pounds and 9 ft in length. The largest males may each reach 11-11.5 ft in length and weigh 6,000-7,200 pounds. Individuals weighing between this range are not uncommon. The Hippopotamus is the fourth heaviest species of land animal, after the African Savannah elephant, the Asian elephant, and the African forest elephant.
