      Hmm in a hypothetical showdown for world dominance between Hippos and Giraffes, my money has got to be on Hippos. They are by far the most dangerous and aggressive animal on earth and would have no trouble fighting Giraffes! 😛

    but how would the Hippo get to the Giraffes? They don’t come out of water very often and which one can run faster on land? Giraffes of course…. My money would be on the Giraffes as they could entice the Hippo out of the water and run away thus wearing the Hippo out so it cannot get back to water and then the Giraffe could gang up with other Giraffes and attack the hippo… intelligence wins over strength

    I’d like to see evidence of giraffes ever doing something like this! Also I don’t think we can necessarily state that Giraffes are more intelligent than hippos?

    Giraffes are way more intelligent than hippos in my hypothetical world and could outsmart them any day of the week especially if it led to world dominance 🙂

    One of my friends has just said he also thinks a Hippo would win! I still say Giraffes would win hooves down! 🙂
