Papo - Figurine - Hippopotamus - WILD LIFE Collection - Ref.50051

Despite its calm appearance, it is best not to mess with a hippopotamus. Even crocodiles are wary of this 3-ton behemoth with its impressive canines. This semi-aquatic animal lives along the rivers of Africa and spends its days submerged in water to combat the heat. It is only at nightfall that it returns to 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. Hippopotamuses live in groups of around fifteen individuals respecting a strict hierarchy.
