Hippo's Yawn

Hippo's Yawn is a rock near Wave Rock in Western Australia.

The rock's resemblance to a yawning hippopotamus led to its name. [1] [2]

It is about 12.6 metres (41 ft) tall and is located just outside of the town of Hyden, and is associated in travel literature with Wave Rock and other rocks. [3] [4] [5]
