This jolly hippo has rambled out of the jungle to be your friend. With shaggy coral colored fur, a pudgy belly, and a velvety soft pair of hooves, this is surely the cuddliest, cutest mud dweller you’re apt to find.
The Hippopotamus is a semi-aquatic mammal that resides in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite their resemblance to pigs, the closest relatives to the hippo are actually cetaceans (whales, dolphins, porpoises). Hippos do almost everything in the water, but do move up on land to graze upon tender shoots of grass. Hippos are known for their stocky shape and short legs, but don’t let their lazy appearance fool you; a hippo can outrun a human!
Jellycat’s hippopotamus is made from a delicate polyester with plastic pellets, and is designed in London, UK. As always, Jellycat complies with European (EN71) and American (ASTM) testing standards for safe toys.
