I mean, anything can become airborne for a substantial period of time if you have a large enough trebuchet.

Well that's a terrifying concept. Flung hippos
- Flung Hippo.
  New band name. I called it!!
Or if its thrown out an airplane

What's a substantial period of time? Like a gallop?

Edit: they only gallop when babies but they generally trot which by definition includes short periods were nothing is touching the ground.

The key finding here is that they trot which includes a suspension phase. Elephants for example trot generally only as babies and reportedly sometimes downhill as adults.

Rhinos, by comparison, even gallop.

Fucking trots. Even tankies hate them. Goddamn trot hippos.

"Sir, a second skyhippo has hit the tower"
- “And a 3rd skyhippo has crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.”

I knew they just copied a regular hippo for Elden Ring DLC
