A the squids preferred depth, the squid. On land or in shallow water the size would be a detriment, and the hippo would KO Squidward's chonky cousin with ease.

He probably ment shallow waters for hippo to stand any chance

Then hippo by default 100%. The giant squid evolved under the immense pressures of the deep, it would die immediately if brought near the surface. Even if it didn't, it's relatively slow moving as far as animals go, again, evolved for the dark, cold deep where conserving nutrients is paramount to all else.

What if the hippo was funded 80 billions dollars from the us military and was given himars

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 years ago

This depends on whether Russia was funding the squid

I wonder how much the hippo would compress at squid depth

Mythbusters once did an episode and determined that at deep ocean pressures, a human scuba diver without active air pressure from topside can be squeezed entirely into their helmet.

And thus, the morph ball was created.

What about a hippo vs a rhino?

If rhino lands horn tackle yea but if hippo dodges i think it wins.

What if the hippo is really pissed because the giant squid is in it's territory, meaning not deep in sea water? Hm? What then?
