“We noticed that the elephants were more scared of tigers than of leopards,” says Vivek Thuppil, who carried out the work with Richard Coss, professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, as part of his PhD in animal behavior.
In an elephant vs hippo fight, the elephant is going to win. Assuming both creatures are fully grown adults, the elephant is just too big for the hippo to handle. Hippos are too smart to pick a fight with an elephant, so they have no idea what it takes to bring one down.

According to a conservation charity called Save China's Tigers, “Recent research indicates that the tiger is indeed stronger than the lion in terms of physical strength… A tiger is generally physically larger than a lion.
Elephants are afraid of bees. Let that sink in for a second. The largest animal on land is so terrified of a tiny insect that it will flap its ears, stir up dust and make noises when it hears the buzz of a beehive. Of course a bee's stinger can't penetrate the thick hide of an elephant.
Lions are also the natural predators of rhinoceroses, even though they rarely attack adults. Some weak, injured and old rhino adults have reportedly been killed by the felines, but rhino calves are the main targets.
