Hippo Pod (2005) Indiana Limestone Sponsored by Bob and Bonnie Meeker
These limestone sculptures feature a family of four life-size hippopotamuses and depict behaviors associated with hippos, such as basking and infant care. Hippos are closely bonded with their young, females don’t let them wander far because of the danger of crocodiles. Sitting at the edge of the Africa bridge lake, these sculptures are a draw for kids who are amazed at their size and love to climb and sit on them.
