Very large crocodiles, such as the infamous Nile Crocodile Gustave (20ft+) have been known to kill and devour male adult hippos. However, crocodiles tend to go for smaller hippos and generally prefer gazelle and wildebeest over hippos, whom they share their territories with.

Do hippos eat crocodiles?
If they are already dead, or if a hippo calf wondered off by itself and got caught by a waiting crocodile. Crocs will almost never take on a fully-grown hippo because of the highly aggressive nature of these animals and the fact that hippos always travel in groups. But that being said, a group of large enough crocodiles can kill a hippo and eat it. Normally, hippos generally kill crocodiles out of defense for their young and themselves.

Crocodiles eat young hippos, but they won't tangle with an adult hippo. Lions have been known to attack hippos, but only out of desperation when there is nothing else to eat and only in packs...a single lion would be no match for an adult hippo. Even when attacked by a pack of lions, the hippo is likely to kill one or more of them and survive the attack itself.
