Schleich Wildlife - Hippopotamus BabyWho could resist this adorable hippopotamus calf from Schleich Wild Life? We're sure this little hippo baby figurine will be ready for loads of imaginary adventures! Hippos are large, heavy herbivores that live near rivers and lakes in Africa. Calves are often born in the water and can even be suckled underwater. At birth the hippopotamus calves already have strong legs, just like the ones from Schleich Wild Life, and can walk soon after being born.
