Known for all the time they spend in the water, did you know that hippos don't actually swim? Rather, they propel themselves off from the bottom of the rivers they inhabit. They're just buoyant enough to get by this way - and it helps that they can hold their breath underwater for up to 30 minutes!

This Hippopotamus ornament is made from American Maple wood grown and milled in the USA! The ornament is finished with a non-toxic food-safe oil to enhance and protect the natural beauty of the wood.

Ornament comes tied with a hanging ribbon and bow (also made in the USA).

Approximate dimensions: 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" x 3/16"

USA grown hardwoods are a renewable, biodegradable and sustainable resource.
