The Hippopotamus Art Print

This detailed scientific illustration depicts a female Hippopotamus amphibius capensis, also known as the Cape hippopotamus. The hippopotamus is a large, semi-aquatic mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is the third-largest land mammal after elephants and rhinoceroses. The illustration shows the hippopotamus in profile, grazing on grass on the bank of a river. Gordon has carefully rendered the hippopotamus's physical features, including its thick skin, short legs, and large eyes and ears positioned on top of its head.

These prints are printed on a fine quality ivory paper.
