Yes, same here.<br>
But since we are talking about the famous Hippos that everybody knows and uses, I took this opportunity to try to find out if anyone here knows anything about their origin. Are these nebadon's?<div><div></div><div>

Well, I found not any license information for the Baby and Mother Hippo that I used as a base. In fact, I got them from your mega-region "Diva's Office"; but I have seen them with full permissions and free to copy at various places in OSgrid, too. I assumed that they are free to use. As long as there are no restrictions on those hippos, the hippo avatar as a derivative work is in the public domain.<br>

Super cute!<br>
Is this really public domain?<br>

Great job! I'm going to use it for our Neutral avatar. Thanks!<br>

Hello Ai,<br>
<br>
Your idea of using a hippo as a starter avatar is great. I took the<br>
freely available Baby Hippo and made an avatar from it. See<br>
<a href="http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2705" target="_blank">http://www.osgrid.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2705</a>.<br>
<br>
Does this meet your notion for such an avatar?<br>

Anyone feel up to creating a starter avatar that looks like a hippo<br>
that<br>
can be distributed as an IAR? It would be a great addition to allow a<br>
male, female and "neutral" avatar as starters and follow the<br>
OpenSimulator logo style with its 3 "users" on it.<br>
