Happy Hippo Takes a Bubble Bath

A plump hippopotamus floats on his back with a big, peaceful grin and lots of tiny freckles dotting his round cheeks. His paws point upward, every wrinkle and bump showing as he drifts. Wiggly lines and little round bubbles surround him, swirling through the gentle water as if he just plopped in.

His small, round ears poke out, and his nostrils stretch wide as he enjoys his soak. The water ripples outward in every direction, making the scene calm and silly all at once. This carefree hippo knows how to relax, and he is ready for a splash of color.

Fun Fact!

Hippos have short, stumpy legs, but they can run surprisingly fast on land for short distances, up to 18-20 miles per hour (30 km/h)!
