Swimming Hippo Garden Statues

1. Introduction of Swimming Hippo Statues

Hippopotamus are large herbivorous mammals widely distributed in rivers, lakes and swamps in Africa. They are typical semi-aquatic animals, spending most of the day in the water to maintain body temperature, and only come ashore to forage at night. The set of bronze Swimming Hippo Garden Statues is presented in a “semi-submerged” posture, with three hippos of different sizes swimming slowly in the water, with only their heads and part of their backs exposed. Hippos have obvious social habits and usually live in small groups, led by an adult male, including several females and cubs. They communicate and declare their territory through calls, opening their mouths to demonstrate, spraying water or shaking their tails to defecate, and are one of the most representative gregarious wild animals in Africa.

The surface of the Hippo Garden Decor is treated with a distressed process, presenting a deep and natural bronze tone, delicately restoring the rough and elastic skin texture of the hippopotamus. Their eyes, ears, nostrils and other details are exquisitely carved, showing an alert and observing expression in the water. The arrangement of three hippos is like a family of three, which is not only vivid and natural, but also friendly and interactive. The group of Swimming Hippo Garden Statues is suitable for outdoor environments such as park lawns, wetland reserves, and natural theme landscapes. Arturban Sculpture can customize various animal sculptures. Welcome to contact us for more details.
