figurine, 50051, Hippopotamus

Despite its calm appearance, it is best not to mess with a hippopotamus. Even crocodiles are wary of this 3-ton behemoth with impressive canines. This semi-aquatic animal lives along the rivers of Africa and spends its days immersed in water to fight against the heat. It is only at nightfall that it reaches dry land to feed on fresh grass (up to 40 kg per day). The hippopotamus is easily recognizable! It has a massive silhouette, small ears, short legs and a huge mouth with impressive teeth. Hippos live in groups of about fifteen individuals respecting a strict hierarchy.
