The hippopotamus is found in the river systems throughout much of central Africa. Hippos spend much of the day socializing in the water but come ashore to feed at night. This large aquatic herbivore can be aggressive when protecting its territory. The hippopotamus contributes to more human deaths in Africa than lions, crocodiles, and venomous snakes combined.nnSpecifications:nn1:1 scalenPolyurethane resin castn2-part skull (separate cranium and jaw)nThis replica was molded from a skull in our museum collection.
