Happy Hippo Lounges by the Lily Pads

Bright round eyes twinkle as this plump hippo sits right in the middle of a wiggly pond. He has a big, gentle smile and tiny ears that stick up, listening to the soft splash of water around him. Two big paws rest on his knees, and his toes peek out, ready to wiggle if a dragonfly lands nearby.

Tall grass grows behind him while lily pads float under his feet, and two blossoms open wide in the sun. The hippo looks comfy and peaceful as he watches the water swirl, counting the petals on every flower. Nothing beats a quiet day by the pond for this friendly hippo.

Fun Fact!
