Comparison chart

	Hippopotamus	Rhinoceros
Speed	19 mph	35 mph
Skin and Hair	Very thick, but virtually hairless skin. The hippo has neither sweat nor sebaceous glands as it relies on water or mud to keep cool. It secretes a viscous red fluid which protects the animal's skin against the sun and is possibly a healing agent.	The white rhino's has hair on the ear fringes & tail bristles, & sparse over the body. Javan & Indian rhinos are hairless; latter has a thick, silver-brown skin with huge folds & bumps on legs & shoulders. Sumatran rhino has dense hair in calves.
Habitat	Hippos are semi-aquatic mammals. Rivers and lakes, not necessarily very deep, with pools of slow moving water and banks with good quality grazing is an ideal habitat.	The white rhino needs open undulating woodland with plenty of grass and permanent water.
Mouth	Hippos have an enormous mouth and teeth.	White Rhinos have the distinctive flat broad mouth which is used for grazing in contrast to the Black rhino's pointed lip which they use to grasp leaves and twigs.
Horns and humps	Hippos have no horns or humps.	The white, black and Sumatran rhinos have two horns on snout. The Indian and Javan rhinos have only one horn. The White Rhinoceros also has a prominent muscular hump that supports its relatively large head.
Behavior	One of the most aggressive in the world and often the most ferocious in Africa. Hippos are gregarious, associating in herds of up to 40 with one adult bull, many cows & their young. Young bulls are evicted from the herd on reaching sexual maturity.	White rhinos: less aggressive, more sociable, in groups of 15. Black rhinos travel alone. Indian Rhino: Adult males are solitary, except for mating/fighting. Adult females are solitary when without calves.
Sexiness	Hippopotamus are know for their good looks, and sexiness. They are among the most popular animal species in Jungle. A male hippo is not only an eye candy for female Hippo but also female from other animal species such as humans, rhino etc.	Rhino is known for being a reject among the animal kingdom. Therefore it associates itself with individuals from other species that are of same behavior. A recent example would be campaign run in Indian province of Assam where Rhino and outdated, out of work, out of sight star Priyanka Chopra were partners.

Zoological classification	Hippopotamus amphibious; one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae.	A group of five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family rhinocerotiae.
Types	Only one of the two species exists today: Hippopotamus Amphibius. (The other was the Pygmy Hippopotamus.)	Javan, Sumatran, Black rhinos (critically endangered); the Indian one-horned rhinoceros (endangered); and the white rhinoceros (vulnerable, and lives in Africa).

Life span	40-50 years	35-50 years (black rhino); 40-50 years (white rhino)
