Animal similar in size to a rhino (5)

I believe the answer is:

hippo

(Other definitions for hippo that I've seen before include "Wallowing mammal" , "Large wallower (abbr)" , "Aquatic creature" , "Augustine looked after" , "Massive thick-skinned animal of African rivers" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
