Did You Know?
An adult hippo needs to resurface every 3–5 minutes to breathe - and remarkably, even while sleeping underwater, a hippo will rise to the surface and breathe without ever waking up. This incredible figurine is the perfect conversation starter and a wonderful way to spark curiosity about the natural world.
