I almost always draw Set in His Sha form, with the big rectangular ears. But various additional animals are sacred to Him as well, including donkeys, pigs, hippos, oryx, and the Mormyrus elephantfish (also called the Oxyrhynchus Fish, the one that ate Osiris' unmentionables). Based on this, each figure in this picture is Set in a different form.

More old art. This one from 3 years ago featuring Boro Hippo. He was fencing and wearing a mask like “Zorro” in the original pic. ‘Zorro’/‘Boro’, get it? It was a dumb idea :) #furry #furryart #hippo #hippopotamus

Hildy found a home! I painted her in ‘19, and she’s almost sold several times since then. Here she is in a private collection in Maryland: “Hildegarde, In Pearl Strand”. Yay! 1: stretched oval canvas, 2: 36” genuine rice pearl necklace with sterling lobster claw, 3: ceramic vase resurfaced, painted, with natural peach moonstone eyes.

A long, beach-house vibe of a room. Actually a lake house, with a wall of windows along the right wall. On the far wall, facing us, is an oval painting with an orange hippopotamus head sticking out, wearing pearls.

The oval painting and orange three dimensional hippo head are seen next to the window and tree outside. A settee is in the picture.

A closer shot of the painted sculpture and oval stretched canvas mounting piece. The hippo (“Hildegarde, In Pearl Strand”) is wearing a detachable double pearl necklace, 36”. Her eyes are round cabochon natural peach moonstones from India.

For this third day of #MegafaunaMay, we are looking at the #hippopotamus. This #megafauna can weigh up to 10,000 pounds and reach over 16 feet in length. Although its social systems revolve around access to water, it is also adapted to land, able to run hundreds of yards at speeds approaching 20 mph. These massive herbivores also rely on water to cool themselves, as their skin secretes red sunscreen instead of sweat.

#Hippos are very social, and spend their days resting in pools of water with their herds. They communicate with a wide variety of sounds, including a warning honk which can reach 115 decibels–about as loud as a siren–and produces sound in both air and water at the same time. At night, hippopotamus herds leave their pools to graze on grasses, consuming over 1% of their body weight and returning to their pools by dawn. Male hippos are protective of their herds, resting on the outside edges of pools while females control the center. Males will fight for dominance and use their large, flat tails to spread dung around, marking their territories.

Although hippos rarely eat meat, they possess formidable incisors which are used for defense and fighting. Hippopotami can open their jaws to a whopping 150 degrees wide, and can snap them shut with over 8000 newtons newtons of bite force, making them one of the most dangerous animals to humans–though most hippo attacks occur when humans get too close to young or pregnant members of a herd.

A hippo sits in water, the surface of which is covered in aquatic plants. Some of the plants are stuck to the hippo's head, and other hippos are visible in the background.

A hippo in tall grass opens its jaw very wide, revealing its long incisors.

A herd of hippos rest in a pond. A large one at the center of the frame seems to make eye contact with the photographer.

Cruising along Lake Rwanyakazinga in Akagera National Park we came across this hippo heading into the water. It had been grazing on the grass along the shore.

Who butchered this ancient hippo?

#Archaeologists in Kenya have unearthed dozens of #StoneTools scattered around the butchered bones of ancient #hippopotamus-like creatures. The site dates to between 2.6 and 3 million years ago, and pushes back the known start of large-animal butchering by early human relatives by at least 600,000 years. The tools are the earliest known example — by around 700,000 years — of #Oldowan tools, which became widespread across #Africa cont..

@bonerwater @GayDeceiver #Hippopotamus #Lovecraft is what I should have called my book which ended up being:
The Care and Breeding of the River Horse.

#Hippo #Lovecraft would have been more succinct with a dash of interesting.

Maybe I'll do a rewrite and update some of the information about #testicular #ground #effect in the #adult male.

Is it okay to completely rename an #updated version of a #book?

*Hippo's nose, ears, & eyes are high on their head, so they can observe their surroundings with most of their body underwater.

*They can shut their nose, ears & eyes to dive.

*Their mouths open 150°- almost a straight line!
