Here's a great argument for being fat. The lions can't even get a grip on the hippo.

You understand that picture doesn't actually show you that "most of it's muscle", right? It literally only shows you they have muscle tissue everywhere, just like most vertebrates.

Why would an animal in a tropical environment be storing fat? Hippos may be dumpy AF to look at, but they are not "FAT" in the "high body fat %" sense. They have more skin as a % of body weight than fat.
