Broken Hippo Skull Question

Man! Hippo skulls are heavy! I have a couple of pieces towards the lower back of the skull that are broken off. What do you suggest that I use to glue it back together?

I didn't realize that they have teeth that protrude straight out from the lower half. Does anyone have a photo of a complete hippo skull so I can get it back together properly? Thanks!

I found a couple of photos. My skull has many more teeth than this one.

Longbob, you should have good luck using a two part epoxy for glueing you parts together. Use one that dries clear. Remeber, the faster it dries the more brittle it is, so I would use one that has a few minutes curring time vs a quick set type.
Good luck.
