saying the hippo would win because he is fatter is a little ridicluous reason by its self . the cougar is a carnivore and would have experince fighting large animals like packs of wolves , jaguars and grizzly bears . pygmy hippo has no fighting experince and would be at a disadvatnge fighting something that can take down something twice its own weight like a bull moose. No, that isn't what I'm saying. I'm saying the pygmy hippo would win because it is robust, durable, over 3 times bigger, and very well-armed. Heck, even a same-sized pygmy hippo would have a very good chance. Also, mountain lions have no experience with pygmy hippos, who have experience with similar leopards. Not to mention a moose and a hippo have very little in common. weight is not a problem as i said before cougars can take down a moose that weighs 1,000 which far out weighs a pygmy hippo . it being more robust , i do not think so , a cougar would be more robust it being more durable , i will not aruge with that , however it being bigger is a streatch , i doubt it is larger in terms of size and as for weapons the cougar is vastly surperior he has his sharp claws and jaws .  |

Besides, deer aren't exactly the most combative, and they don't try and kill attackers, so that's a very bad representation here. 2: How is the pygmy hippo less robust? They are literally built like tanks 3: How is the pygmy hippo not bigger? It weighs over 3 times as much! 4: I could reiterate here by saying the hippo's jaws are superior to everything the mountain lion has as they can kill with 1 bite |

The pygmy hippo has the weight advantage it needs 4: No, the hippo has far better weapons. Its jaws are far superior All that said, I'm sort of tired. May we continue tomorrow? |

We went over this. Visual size is irrelevant here 2: No, the pygmy hippo is more muscular. It means more muscle in the same or lesser area, and that applies to the pygmy hippo 3: It may not, but weight is the relevant factor here. Visual size is irrelevant 4: No, the pygmy hippo's larger. Moreover, it can easily shake off the mountain lion, would be durable enough to survive lots of punishment, and each bite would be devastating |

That would be its downfall |

That would be its downfall on the filip side the hippo would not know to avoid the cougars claws . plus i think it would as they are intellegent enough to avoid being bitten by american alligators in the wild 2; i did not say the hippo was fat i said most of its body is made of fat 3;no the hippo is mostly bulk not muscle |

Moreover, the claws pale in comparison to the jaws, and intelligence is moot. We have went over this. 2: They've got a fair amount of muscle, and even at parity the hippo has a good chance 3: Bulk and muscle cannot be differentiated like you said. Bulk is more muscle in an area |
