SAFARI LTD Pygmy Hippo Figure From 3 Years

At first glance, the pygmy hippopotamus may look like the baby of its relative, the common hippopotamus. However, it is fully grown at about half the size and a quarter of the weight of its larger cousin. Its nostrils are also less prominent, because it spends much less time in an aquatic environment than the common hippo. Features: - Scientific Name: Choeropsis liberiensis - Characteristics: This small pygmy hippo figure is posed in mid walk, as if trekking through the forests it calls home. This hand-painted and highly detailed figure reflects the hippo’s rotund body, small legs and textured, pebbly skin. Specifications: Dimension: - Size in cm: 8.26 L x 2.67 W x 4.32 H - Size in inches: 3.25 L x 1.05 W x 1.7 H
