Alt Text
What is meant by the alt text for the hippo display case? It doesn't seem to make sense. File:Allenton Hippo display at Derby Museum.JPG|240px|alt=Museum display case with a long iron seax and other artefacts Parkywiki (talk) 01:21, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

A "seax" is an ancient knife = which is where I stole the infomation box from before I (incompletely) changed it to be useful for this article. I must be less fallible! Victuallers (talk) 10:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps not H. amphibamus
It might have been either of the extinct species Hippopotamus antiquus, hippopotamus major or Hippopotamus gorgops, which lived in the British isles, unlike amphibamus. FunkMonk (talk) 11:07, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
