Gentle Hippo Smiles by the Riverbank
Meet a gentle hippopotamus enjoying a peaceful afternoon by the riverbank. With every wrinkle telling a story, this hippo is ready to be brought to life with your imagination. Will you give the hippo classic gray tones, or decorate it with wild, vibrant colors? Imagine the gentle splash of water nearby and the soft sounds of the savanna as you color in each curving line.
FUN FACT
Hippo pods are usually led by a dominant male hippo, who defends his stretch of river or lake and the females in his group.

COLORING TIPS
Try layering different shades for the hippo's skin to create depth—blend light grays, purples, or even blues for a unique touch. Use colored pencils to follow the lines for texture, or markers for a bold, smooth finish. Add a background with reeds or water for extra flair.
