Eli5 why hippos can’t swim because of their weight yet blue whales can
In: 7
It is the same reason why a small needle can sink in the water, but big ships cannot. In general, things float in the water, because they have density less than the water itself. This can be managed by how much air you suck in, your body among other things. Hippo do not have that ability, but blue whales do. Hence they are able to swim.
