Beautiful artwork!
It's #WorldHippoDay 🦛 🎉

Happy to include a sketch studies of the Hippo this year, an animal I've always wanted to draw more of.

Like with all animal days we celebrate, today is a great day to read and share info about Hippos!

Happy World Hippo Day! With BlueSky’s 60 sec limit, I had to speed up the Instagram reel, but you can pause it to read facts about hippos and how they’re some of our important eco-engineers as well as current threats hippos face from poaching to habitat loss.

World Hippo Day is celebrated on 15 February every year, serving as an opportunity to raise awareness about the plight of hippos and promote conservation efforts for their protection.

Also a great little ditty sung by John Lithgow.

I see it's #WorldHippoDay, so let me introduce you to Purple Hippo. Purple Hippo has been part of my family for about 50 years. He currently lives on the kitchen windowsill where he has a good clear view of the garden.

The hippopotamus is native to Africa. They are nicknamed the river horse due to being a semiaquatic mammal, spending most of their day in rivers & lakes. They feed mostly on land at night. 🧵 1/4

It’s #WorldHippoDay!

Let's talk about hippopotamuses:

@earthdotcom.bsky.social: "Hippos face significant threats due to habitat loss, poaching, and climate change."

World Hippo Day reminds us of their importance in the ecosystem and the need for their protection.

Hippos know how to stay cool! 😎 They spend their days chilling in rivers and lakes to beat the blistering African heat. With their eyes, nose and ears on top of their heads, they can see, breathe and eavesdrop while staying mostly underwater. #WorldHippoDay

Happy Hippo Day 🦛

🦛 Hippos secrete a natural "sunscreen" that turns pink, often mistaken for blood!
🦛 They can't swim—instead, they bounce and can hold their breath underwater for up to 5 minutes!
🦛 They can run up to 30 km/h

Hooray for hippos! And hippo ivory-- which I didn't even realize was a thing until now. The education of #worldhippoday keeps giving.
For #worldhippoday, let’s take a look at this comb made out of hippo ivory. It has a human head. From tomb 1411 in Naqada, Egypt (near-ish Luxor). From the Predynastic period.
Currently in Petrie Museum of Archaeology @ @ucl.ac.uk.
