With its massive silhouette and impressive mouth, the hippopotamus is one of Africa's most feared giants. Despite its calm appearance, it can weigh more than 3 tons and fiercely defends its territory – even crocodiles fear it!
A semi-aquatic animal, it spends its days submerged in rivers to protect itself from the heat and only emerges at nightfall to graze on large quantities of fresh grass. Recognizable by its small ears, short legs, and wide jaw with formidable canines, the hippopotamus lives in structured groups, governed by a strict hierarchy.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces every detail of this behemoth: its massive body, thick skin, and powerful jaw. A must-have for completing a wild animal collection, inventing exciting adventures, or educating children about the richness of African wildlife.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
