An image of the Barrington Hippo skeleton from behind showing off the discrepancy in hip size. The left hip is much larger than the right.
Notice anything strange? 🦛
You may have spotted a difference in the size of its hip bones. This is because the Barrington Hippo is a composite skeleton. One hip bone is from a female individual and the other comes from a male! The larger hip bone is from a female.
