Hippopotamus - San Diego, CA - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

This statue depicts a hippo - but since we can only see part of it, it is clear that it is wallowing in shallow water. In reality, the statue is set on a spongey surface so all the kids who climb on the statue can't hurt themselves.
