1. Introduction of Swimming Hippo Sculpture
Hippopotamus are large African mammals that live in freshwater environments such as rivers and lakes. They have strong social behaviors and often move in groups, led by an adult male, which also includes multiple females and their cubs. Although hippos lurk in the water most of the time, they communicate with each other through calls, opening their mouths, spraying water, etc., to maintain their territory or convey emotions, showing a complex social structure. This bronze Swimming Hippo Garden Sculpture presents three hippos “swimming” in a realistic style.
The Bronze Hippo Sculpture only shows its head and back, as if it is slowly moving on the water. The surface texture of the sculpture is natural, and the antique bronze color shows the real texture of the hippo skin. Three Swimming Hippo Garden Sculptures of different sizes are arranged in a family group, with natural and friendly postures, vividly reproducing the collectivity and habitat of hippos, and are suitable for decoration in natural environments such as gardens, grasslands, and wetland landscapes. Arturban statue can customize various animal statues. Welcome to contact us for more details.
