"Psst, you keep hoggin the bank like this, you MIGHT survive, but you certainly won't feel good, and you'll certainly wish you'd just found another spot."
They normally don't fight each other. It's not worth the fight. So they share the environment but stay out of each other's way.

Actually , more like a torpedo . Hippos run on the bottom and push off from the bottom , thus propelling themselves torpedo-like through the water . Hippos are so dense that they sink . They cannot swim .
Hippos are capable of producing around 1,800 psi ( 8,100 Newtons) with their bite. In theory, they have a strong enough bite to snap a crocodile in half if needed. Also Hippo do eat meat as well.
