The Mojo Hippopotamus Cow figure depicts the hippopotamus in a lifelike stance, with its thick, barrel-shaped body and short, sturdy legs. The texture of the figure mimics the rough, hairless skin of a real hippopotamus, complete with the characteristic folds and wrinkles.
The eyes, nostrils, and ears are positioned high on the head, reflecting the adaptation of hippos to their semi-aquatic lifestyle, allowing them to see, breathe, and hear while mostly submerged. The skin tone of the figure is a realistic brown, capturing the natural appearance of the animal.
The Mojo Hippopotamus Cow figure measures approx: 5.5 L x 2.4 H x 1.7 W inches.
The hippopotamus, commonly referred to as the hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs, hippos are more closely related to whales and dolphins. They are the third-largest land mammals by weight, after elephants and white rhinoceroses. Female hippos, known as cows, play a crucial role in the social structure and reproductive success of their species.
A hippopotamus cow typically weighs up to 3,500 pounds and can reach lengths of up to 12 feet. Hippos have a distinctive barrel-shaped body with thick, nearly hairless skin that secretes a natural sunscreen substance, which is red in color and often referred to as "blood sweat." This secretion helps protect their skin from the harsh sun and acts as an antibiotic.
