The third largest land mammal, Hippopotamuses are semi-aquatic herbivores that can be found in southern Africa. Although adult hippopotamuses are commonly feared for their aggression and territorial nature, this cute little calf is all play and no bite!
Scientific Name: Hippopotamus amphibius
Characteristics: Despite its small size, this Hippo Baby is doing its best to let out a mighty roar! Hand painted with life-like realism, our Hippopotamus Baby figurine is great as an addition to a nature enthusiasts’ collection or a wildlife diorama, as a teaching tool for a biology course, or just for fun play with any of our other wildlife figurines.
Size and Color: Adult hippos can be as large as 17 feet long, so this little guy has some growing to do! At about 3 inches long and 1¾ inches tall, this Hippo Baby model is accurately colored to represent not only hippopotamuses’ dark gray hide, but the red substance their skin produces to protect them from the harsh African sun.
