She...
I've heard on movies pirates say about whales 'she's gonna blow'.
But that doesn't necessarily mean the whale is female, right?
So, my question is: Does that apply here as well?
Hippos are strictly vegetarians. She hasn't come for a share of the spoils.
Why she intrudes in this way is a mystery. She is more powerful than the crocs
and her dominance over them is absolute.

We use 'they' when talking about a group of animals in general. How 'she' came into use in the whaling business, I don't know.

Hi,
Piratea are also prone to saying 'She's sinking', but that doesn't mean the ship is female.
