The Ancient Egyptian Hippopotamus - Antique Pharaonic Artifact

The amazing HIPPOPOTAMUS is made from real basalt stone, Replica like the original one in the museum with the perfect Egyptian handmade touching. Hippos are the third-largest living land mammal, after elephants and white rhinos. Despite their large and bulky appearance, they have adaptations to their semi-aquatic environments allowing them to move swiftly on both water and land. Their feet have four-webbed toes that splay out to distribute weight evenly and therefore adequately support them on land, and their short legs provide powerful propulsion through the water. The pygmy hippo digits are more spread out and have less webbing and, proportionally, their legs are longer relative to their body size. They both have skin tones of purple-gray or slate color, with brownish-pink coloring around their eyes and ears. They have very thick skin that is virtually hairless except for the thick bristle-like hair on their heads and tails. Type: Egyptian Ancient Antiques. - Handmade.- Made from
