Absolutely the hippo. One would never imagine this, thinking first and foremost the lion perhaps..or even rhino or elephant. It is their sheer weight and bulk , firstly, that no- one could contend with...but given also, that they are related to the horse, they are able to run so very fast, and charge . Experts advise that you never get between where hippos are, and a watering hole.. especially if they have young. They will stop at nothing to reach the water. They reckon they only escape you would have is to climb a tree ...or indeed jump over a wall or high hedge that a hippo is un-able to do !!!!.... Now I KNOW I'm no expert, but from my recollection, there may be an odd tree knocking about , but I cannot recall "walls or hedges" near the typical "watering " holes... Although I could be wrong !.

It would take a lot of leather to make a hippo saddle.

"One of the most interesting hippo facts is that this animal secretes a red, oily substance that many have described as “blood sweat.”

Neither blood nor sweat, this secretion is a natural sunscreen that protects the hippo’s naked skin from the harsh African sun. Blood sweat is made up of two secretions: one red (hipposudoric acid) and one orange (norhipposudoric acid).

And it serves two purposes.

These highly acidic compounds inhibit bacteria (reducing disease) and absorb ultraviolet light (helping prevent sunburn and sun damage)."
