Hippo Pod

Hippo Pod

Region
Africa
Medium
Indiana Limestone
Artist Name
Meg White

These limestone sculptures feature a family of four life-size hippopotamuses and depict behaviors associated with hippos, such as basking and infant care. Hippos are closely bonded with their young, females don’t let them wander far because of the danger of crocodiles. Near the edge of the lake at the Africa picnic area, these sculptures are a draw for kids who are amazed at their size and love to climb and sit on them.
