I am looking for a place to gradually show my collection. I hope it's ok to create a separate topic for this.

PostSubject: My Hippo's   Thomas collection EmptyFri Jul 08, 2022 7:20 pm

Within the genus Hippopotamus only one recent species exists. Only one other genus with also one species (Choeropsis liberiensis pygmy hippopotamus/Zwergflusspferd) belongs to the family.

General remarks:

1. the short limbs each ending in four forward projecting toes, equipped with broad hooves and connected with partially developed webbed feet.

Figures have 3-5 toes

2. the inner pair of incisors is larger than the outer.

3. difference H. amphibius and C. liberiensis:
the former has 4 incisors each in the upper and lower dentition, the latter 6.

Figures often without incisors, or with only the two inner incisors.

Here is my Hippo collection:

Maybe the dentition is not always easy to replicate at such small scales but I think they shouldn't get the number of toes wrong. I love that your collection has hippos of very different quality.

that tiny tiny tiny Fererro one is so cute! I've never seen a hippo so small

and I really like the bottom 2 - the light tan coloured one and the one above it.
Wonderful collection of hippos :)

Oh, this is exciting, to see what you have! I have to agree with Sunny, that tiny tiny hippo is so charming. Very Happy I also really like the VEB Plaho models! They really have a lot of character. It is strange that the toes are wrong sometimes . . . that seems easy enough to check before sculpting. Laughing
