Made from non-toxic, BPA-free plastic, it’s a safe, compact collectible that doubles as an educational piece highlighting the vulnerable status of hippos in sub-Saharan Africa. ## Description Product Description The third largest land mammal, hippopotamuses frequent the shallow waters, swamps, rivers, and lakes in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. Notorious for their territorial nature, hippos are extremely dangerous and have been known to attack humans and flip boats. This hand painted and true-to-life figurine captures all of the hippo’s defining characteristics, including its large size, aggressive demeanour, and huge tusks. Despite their aggressive demeanours, we promise this portly pal is nothing but nice! 5 inches long and 2.5 inches tall, our scientifically accurate hippopotamus figurine is the size of a soda can resting on its side. Hippos are predominantly slate grey, although they have pink skin in many areas of their body. Despite their formidable nature, hippos are classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Although their global population is not declining as sharply as many other threatened and vulnerable species, it declining nonetheless due to habitat loss and fragmentation. More specifically, hippos across Africa are threatened by a loss of access to large bodies of fresh water.
