Hippo or Penguin: what the numbers say

Hippo is an Epic binocular animal and Penguin a Rare one, but Hippo runs 8-hour activities and Penguin 1-hour ones. Hippo does 4 activities before a 24-hour sleep, Penguin 6 before a 12-hour one. Finishing an activity early costs 2,880 coins with Hippo and 600 with Penguin. Per 30 minutes of activity at level 10, Penguin is ahead on both binoculars (7 against 6.8) and heart gems (120 against 102). Collected on time and counting the sleep, a level 10 Hippo makes about 185 binoculars and 2,798 heart gems a day, against 112 and 1,920 for a level 10 Penguin, so per day Hippo comes out ahead on both. That pace means collecting Penguin every hour until it falls asleep. Hippo hatches from the Yellow Egg, while Penguin hatches from the Purple Egg.
