Paper Mache Hippo
from the Philippines

The hippopotamus is considered the most ferocious of all wild animals in Africa? They are responsible for more deaths, than any other wild animal. Many have visions of lazy hippos lying around in the sun, yawning in the heat. Well, when a hippo yawns that's not a sign of being tired. It's a sign of anger. When a hippo feels threatened he opens his mouth and shows his killer teeth. And, if that doesn't scare off the threat he's perfectly capable of attacking.

These hippos, on the other hand, are cute, docile and safe to have around the house. Made of recycled paper and plastic, you don't need to worry about their mouths; they have been glued shut.
