    I don’t get how they can have so much energy to move such a bulky body quickly. Aren’t they also herbivores?

      They are, but they spend most of their time in the water, so they aren’t supporting their own weight.

      Every once in a while one of them forgets they aren’t top of the food chain, and attempts to fight an elephant. That goes poorly for the hippo.
