More model informationThis is the right forearm, comprised of the fused radius and ulna of a juvenile hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) skeleton given to the Lapworth Museum by Russell Coope. It is very robust, and large muscle attachment points such as on the olecranon process that extends behind the elbow joint allow the hippo to support its heavy body and move with surprising speed.
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.
