Great White Shark VS Hippopotamus VS Saltwater Crocodile?

Question

Hypothetically, if an adult hippopotamus were to encounter with an adult great white shark in semi shallow water, who would win? The Great White Shark generally weighs between 2,500 lbs -4,000 lbs, and the hippo generally weighs between 3,000 lbs-7,000 lbs. The shark between 15-20 feet in length, and the hippo is usually between 10-13 feet in length. The Shark has a bite force of around 1,000 lbs, where as the hippo has a bite force around 2,000 lbs, and has thicker skin than the shark, although the shark is more mobile underwater.

Now, how would either of these animals do against a large Saltwater Crocodile? The Saltwater Crocodile is generally over 20 feet in length (The longest recorded was 26') and weigh up to 2,500 lbs. The Saltwater Crocodile has the most powerful bite force, at an astonishing 2,500 lbs of pressure.

Answer 4

Shark vs. Hippo

If they came across each other in real life, it would be a tie as the shark would be too quick for the hippo, but the hippo would be too tough for the shark. They would probably not even try to attack each other.

Shark vs. Croc

This depends completely on how shallow the water is. In an ocean, the shark would win as it would dive down and come up from below while the crocodile was surfacing for air.

However, in shallower water, the shark would find it hard to manouvere so while it was squirming around, the crocodile would be free to attack it.

Hippo vs. Croc

This is the only one which has a good chance of occuring in real life. It would probably also be a tie for the same reasons as the ones in shark vs. hippo.
