One on one combat pros/cons
Pros : Proficient in run and bite attacks, probably barbarian class (combats with sheer rage), Heals when sprayed with water, and has combat experience(ended ButterBear).
Cons : No time to train ( live-streaming 24/7), Requires moisturizing, and the only thing going through her mind is violence.

Who would win?
Joseph Parrish, a former zookeeper that would take care of animals at the Woodland Park Zoo argues that, “I don’t want to ever think about a hippo and a penguin getting in a fight, especially because I would hate to see these younglings to be harmed.” A fight to see who would win would be catastrophic and probably lead to the biggest war ever. Paige Greenwalt argues that, “I believe if these two fellow animals were to fight, Pesto would win because he is the absolute unit king and would destroy mee-deng in one punch, he wouldn’t even lose a feather.” Even though there will never be any real combat between the two because it would not end well, here is one of the best fan-made videos of how this fight would play out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYxiXH0FUBI
