Dutch Artist Florentijn Hofman,

has another project on the go,


he recently installed a giant hippopotamus sculpture in the River Thames, the 70-foot-long wooden creature, playfully titled HipppoThames, was constructed over a small ship so that it would appear half-submerged in the water, big googly eyes and hot pink nostrils make this giant animal look like a lot of fun, according to the artist, the piece was inspired by the hippos who used to inhabit the river during prehistoric times,

if you are in the UK or want to visit the exhibit the HipppoThames will remain afloat at Nine Elms on the South Bank in central London through September 28, 2014, but check with the website just in case things change,
