Eco Nation Softies Plush Hippo by Aurora

There are hippopotamuses and there are hippo-awesome-muses, and the Eco Nation Softies Plush Hippo by Aurora belongs in the latter category, for sure. At around 8 inches, this plush hippo is, of course, smaller than the 16.5 feet these beasts can reach (they’re the second largest land animal on earth), which means you can slip her in your pocket without her weighing you down! In a pretty, pale gray color, the Eco Nation Softies Plush Hippo by Aurora’s coat is so soft and velvety that you might be surprised to learn that it’s made from plastic bottles; saved from ending up in landfill, these bottles create a yarn that’s skillfully transformed into the adorable stuffed hippo you see before you. In fact, every part of the Eco Nation Softies Plush Hippo by Aurora is made from 100% recycled materials, from the embroidered eyes to the super soft stuffing, and even the hang tag around her neck. Despite their huge size, hippos can reach speeds of around 18MPH, but as you can see, this hippo stuffed animal is living life in the slow lane and will arrive already lying down on her tummy with all four legs playfully sticking out.
