Hippo
Hutto, TX

Hippo
Hutto, TX		 Hippo
St. Louis, MO
This Hippo is 10 feet tall and made of concrete. It was created for a miniature golf course but it wound up here. The statue was produced by Ben Robinson of the Plycrete Mold Co. The original sculpture from which the mold was made was created by Elmer Johnson. It was installed in 1992 and is Hutto's main tourist attraction. A photo-op staircase has been built next to the statue. Many smaller hippo statues have also been decorated and installed around town. Hutto's fondness for hippos can be traced back to around 1915 when a hippo escaped from a circus train in town. For more, see this website. [map]

This Plycrete Hippo in St. Louis was installed in front of a Lustron house in 2024. [map]

Hippo, Bear & Dinosaur
Sandusky, OH
These Hippo, Bear and Dinosaur were installed in front of the Best Budget Inn when these photos were taken in 2012. The Dinosaur came from a Sinclair gas station. The hippo and bear were created by Ben Robinson of Plycrete (see description of the hippos in the row above). Robinson sold many statues to mini golf courses and these figures most likely came from one. In 2014, the motel became the Magnuson Hotel Sandusky. It now appears to be a U-Haul rental business. The three statues were still there in 2021. [map]

Hippo
Edmond, OK
This Hippo in Edmond appears to be holding a camera. The trap door in back suggests that this statue might have been mechanical in some way. It is located in front of Glass Solutions. These photos are from 2011. The statue was repainted around 2020. [map]

These Sheep in Akron are installed on the roof of the Mattress Factory Outlet. The nine statues have been there since at least 2009 when the building housed Best Bedding. The building was painted bright blue around 2016 but the Sheep remain. [map]

Bighorn Ram
Cascade, ID		 Grizzly Bear with Salmon

These Bighorn Ram and Grizzly Bear with Salmon sculptures are made from barbed wire. They were made by Big John, a local artist. The Bighorn Ram is installed in front of a Dodge dealership. The Bear is located elsewhere in town. Big John's barbed wire sculptures of an Indian and a buffalo were also installed in town. However, I did not notice those statues when these 2014 photos were taken. [map]
