With its massive silhouette and impressive mouth, the hippopotamus is one of Africa's most feared giants. Despite its calm appearance, it can weigh more than 3 tons and fiercely defends its territory – even crocodiles fear it!
A semi-aquatic animal, it spends its days submerged in rivers to protect itself from the heat and only emerges at nightfall to graze on large quantities of fresh grass. Recognizable by its small ears, short legs, and wide jaw with formidable canines, the hippopotamus lives in structured groups, governed by a strict hierarchy.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces every detail of this behemoth: its massive body, thick skin, and powerful jaw. A must-have for completing a wild animal collection, inventing exciting adventures, or educating children about the richness of African wildlife.
