I watched a hippo mother push her new baby up among giant crocodiles that could easily eat it. For some reason the crocodiles thought it wasn't a great idea to devour the morsel.

It might have had something to do with the huge curved teeth that big hippos have which look much more useful for plunging into crocodiles than munching river foliage .

For some reason the USA aircraft carriers tootling around Taiwan remind me of baby hippos.

Apparently China can easily munch on aircraft carriers with blah blah blah hypersonic rockets. Not much of a problem as the mothership would go defcon10 or whatever the marine richter scale is.

But such marine militaries do seem so last century when remote controlled drones and rockets can fly hither and yon with megatonnage on board.

Without having to have 100kg of pilot on board, aircraft can be as small as a kilogram or even a gram for very short range missions.
