Elephants and rhinoceroses do not mate. Even if they did, they would not produce offspring. This is because all animal hybrids come from two animals from the same genus, and rhinos are from a different genus than elephants. There are some pairs of different species of animals that can mate, though:
lion+tiger= liger or tigon (depending on the gender of the tiger and the lion)
whale+dolphin=wholphin
horse+donkey=mule
All animal hybrids are infertile, meaning they cannot mate--even with members of their own species.
And just to be clear, I am Not making this up. You can search any of these hybrids.
Despite their similar appearance, rhinos and hippos are not closely related. They do not even belong to the same taxonomic order. It would be about as impossible as trying to breed a pangolin, a strange small mammal that appears to have scales, with a cat. It would never work.
Not possible due to difference in sizes- but if they did- nothing would happen. They are two different species and infertile with each other.
