For slaying the Nemean Lion:The Hippopotamus

The Hippopotamus rivals the Rhinoceros as the second largest land animal and can grow to
16' long and 5' tall.
   Hippopotamus means River Horse in ancient Greek.
The Hippopotamus is a herbivore and eats grasses but is very dangerous with their huge tusks that can grow to be 5' long!

The Hippopotamus enjoys to lie around in the water all day and at night it leaves and goes off to eat.

  1. Sorry Hermes, but I couldn't think of an African animal that stole things or was sneaky.
