Hippos can't swim.
Analysis
The statement that hippos can't swim is supported by multiple sources indicating that hippos do not swim or float but instead walk or stand on surfaces below the water. However, there are also conflicting sources that describe hippos as being able to swim and being buoyant. Given the preponderance of evidence suggesting that hippos do not swim in the traditional sense, but rather manage their buoyancy, the statement is more likely to be correct. Therefore, while there is some conflicting information, the majority of credible sources support the idea that hippos cannot swim.
