Like when Marciano beat Ali in 1967. They never actually fought and there's no way to know who would really have won.
You got it.
They're doing that now with animal "face-offs," as well as "warrior" face-offs (i.e. Spartan vs. Ninja; Gladiator vs. Samurai; etc). Impossible matches...
They enter all the possible strengths, weaknesses, parameters, history, proclivities, etc., and the computer crunches the outcomes...
Pretty soon, we won't need the real thing... in more ways than one...
I remember reading about a real documented case of a hippo which charged into the salt water on the East coast of Africa (hippos don't normally live near the ocean) and was set upon by sharks. The sharks tore it apart. I am afraid I don't know heights, weights, measurements or physical condition.
I also remember YouTube footage a couple of years back of a fight between an Orca and a Great White. To my surprise, the Orca killed the Great White. I had assumed the Great White would be much too fast for the Orca, but clearly not. Apparently Great Whites don't have that same frightening speed that smaller sharks have.
In CGI world? It is whatever variables the programmer chooses to plug in.
Who'd win a fight, a great white or a hippo? ...
2. ...but the shark is chivalrous. If the hippo needs to go get a gulp of air, the shark will respect its need and let it go for air unharmed.
...
Well, that pretty much answers the question at least why the hippo has a chance on the computer program!

I read about a similar incident, maybe its the one you are thinking of. An African Elephant, dying of thirst, started swimming to a nearby island in search of water. Witnesses saw it being attacked by a shark or sharks, and it never made it to the nearby island.
