Mini Cuddlekins 8 Inch Stuffed Pygmy Hippo by Wild Republic

Hippos are well known for spending a lot of time wallowing in the water, but if you’d like one who prefers staying nice and dry, you should take a look at the Mini Cuddlekins 8 Inch Stuffed Pygmy Hippo by Wild Republic. At around 8 inches, this plush Pygmy Hippo comes from a long line of pachyderms who have adapted to forest living, although they do enjoy cooling off in the water when the weather is hot, too. Smaller than the more well-known giants you’re probably more used to, these animals usually measure less than 5 feet in length, which allows them to move more easily through the trees and bushes in search of food, although the Mini Cuddlekins 8 Inch Stuffed Pygmy Hippo by Wild Republic’s will be able to ride in your pocket as you go in search of adventure, instead. In the cutest seated position, this stuffed Pygmy Hippo is striking in two shades of grey with a dark upper and a lighter shade to his tummy, chest, and face and silvery toes on his feet, which are less-webbed than the more usual kind thanks to his landlubbing ways. Filled with 100% recycled materials, the Mini Cuddlekins 8 Inch Stuffed Pygmy Hippo by Wild Republic is keen to help the environment in any way he can and has saved several previously used plastic bottles from ending up in landfill.
