A hippo does not swim, it walks along the bottom and pushes off. Floating is the pose most people picture, with the eyes, ears and nostrils in a line just above the surface, which is exactly where they sit so the animal can breathe, hear and watch without surfacing.
The model is supplied with fur, in the floating pose, and carries CheckMate Lite and Pro certification.
At $79 it suits wildlife and nature visualization, documentary and education work, zoo and safari imagery, game environments, advertising and editorial illustration. On sale since 2016.
