Adding to everything here, you don’t have to think just of the organs, but also the bones! Our bone structure as it is wasn’t made to support all that weight, while for hippos they were, he is meant to be that size and has support for it. So you also get some complications from this (which contributes to getting heavier, cause you can’t exercise well after a point to lose weight).
