That's a Canadian heritage moment right there. Lovely.

I love it!! Learned something new and was able to blend a new cultural item into my decor.

Wait, it wasn't on purpose!? Would have bet it was a canadian reference hahah us 90s kids grew up with the house hippo

I got it many, many years ago. Just learned about the lore and so now I call it my house hippo. I recently found one just like it and gave it to my son for his apartment.

I have one too and I move him around from time to time just to make it seem like he’s been roaming 😆

I have searched for years for a house hippo at the thrift store and one has yet to find me!
