Here's why:
* Built for speed: Rhinos are built for speed, with long legs and a streamlined body. They can reach speeds of up to 35 mph (56 km/h) in short bursts.
* Hippo limitations: Hippos are built for aquatic life and have short, stubby legs. They can only reach speeds of around 20 mph (32 km/h) on land.
While hippos are powerful and can be dangerous, rhinos are the faster runners in a head-to-head comparison.
