Not exactly sure what you are getting at, but I am guessing you wanted the scientific name of those two animals?
Hippopotamus is Hippopotamus amphibius;
Rhinoceros is Diceros Bicornis, part of the Rhinocerotidae family.
Hope this helps! :)

Hippopotamuses make up the family Hippopotamidae in the order Artiodactyla, class Mammalia. The common hippopotamus is classified as Hippopotamus amphibius, and the pygmy hippopotamus is Choeropsis liberiensis or Hexaprotodon liberiensis.
Rhinoceros meaning “nose,” and keras, meaning “horn,” a reference to the most eye-catching feature of these huge and often awkward-looking animals.
