Officially Extinct in early 1500s. Hippopotamus lemerlei, also known as the Malagasy hippopotamus, was a species of hippopotamus that was endemic to the island of Madagascar. It was one of the smallest species of hippopotamus, about the size of a pygmy hippopotamus, and had unique adaptations to its freshwater habitats. Despite its relatively recent extinction, very little is known about the biology and ecology of this species. Model includes a Pre-supported version. The model is sized for 1:24 of the actual size. You can reduce or enlarge the model using the slicing software if you need a different size. Pre-supported model is oriented to minimize supports to the face and other high-detail parts. Care should be taken when removing the supports to avoid damaging the model.
