HippopoThames

If you happen to be in London this month, you must visit Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman‘s giant hippopotamus sculpture floating in the Thames River. The 70 foot wooden hippo is Hofman’s contribution to Totally Thames, a new annual event celebrating England’s longest river. Honestly, how adorable is this colossal water-loving creature?
