Add the schleich Wild Life 14938 Hippopotamus figure to your collection today! Despite its massive body, the hippo is an excellent swimmer and spends most of its life in the water to cool off and protect itself from the sun. Only the small ears and the nostrils look out of the water.
With its huge body, broad snout and thick skin, the massive hippopotamus looks quite impressive. Although it is so massive, it is surprisingly manoeuvrable in the water. It also feels most at home there. During the day, it rests in the cool river; at night it trudges leisurely to the next meadow to graze.
