Happy Hippo with a Big Friendly Smile

This hippo leans in close, his round nose and wide cheeks filling the page. His ears perk up, listening for fun splashes or giggles nearby. Two big, gentle eyes look right at you, shining with a silly glint that hints he’s ready for a snack or a muddy wallow.

Thick, curvy lines trace the rolls around his face and neck, making him look extra squishy and huggable. Both nostrils curve up at the tip of his snout, ready to wiggle. He waits patiently, showing off his wide, goofy grin and floppy ears that flap at every sound.

Fun Fact!

Even though hippos spend so much time in water, they are not very good swimmers; hippos usually walk or "gallop" along the bottom of the river or lake.
