Big Smiles by the Riverbank

This young hippopotamus stands with round cheeks and a giant grin, ready for some splishy-splashy fun. His little ears peek up from a wide head, and two bold, friendly eyes sparkle with mischief. His soft belly curves to the ground, and all four sturdy legs are planted firmly, like he just marched out of the water for a snack.

He curls his tail and shows off tiny toes set in chunky feet. Gentle lines trace his full cheeks and wide nose, making him look curious and happy. There are wide spaces and bold shapes all around him, perfect for bringing him to life with color.
