Asset Overview

This is the right femur of a juvenile hippopotamus (*Hippopotamus amphibius*) skeleton given to the Lapworth Museum by Russell Coope. It is large, and has sizeable points for muscle attachments that anchor and drive the powerful hind limb of the hippo. This specimen was digitised by Jack Mayer Wood using photogrammetry, and is part of a collection of bones from this individual hippo that have been digitised.
