Baby Hippopotamus Figurine
Baby Hippopotamus Figurine
Endearing and playful, the baby hippo spends its first weeks nestled against its mother, often in the water. At birth, it already weighs several tens of kilograms, but remains vulnerable and dependent on the herd's protection.
Very quickly, it learns to swim and dive, keeping only its eyes, nostrils, and ears above water, just like the adults. Surprisingly, baby hippos suckle underwater thanks to a special adaptation that allows them to close their nostrils and remain submerged without difficulty. Protected by its mother, it gradually learns about aquatic life and feeding on fresh grasses at dusk.
This Papo figurine tenderly depicts the baby hippo: round silhouette, wrinkled skin, and playful attitude. An ideal model to complete a collection of wild animals, invent stories by the African rivers, or introduce children to the fascinating life of this semi-aquatic giant.
A great gift idea for curious children, wildlife enthusiasts, those discovering wild fauna, and collectors of Papo figurines.
